      It’s been awhile since I’ve seen an update for the compatibility/certification of Cloverleaf versions and Windows 7.

      What versions of Cloverleaf are now certified to run on Windows 7 (64 bit)?

      We will be moving to Windows 7 soon and are currently on Cloverleaf 5.7rev2.

      Thank you,

      Nate K

          Cloverleaf is only certified to run as a client on Windows 7 (See Release notes)

          From 5.8.5 Release Notes:

          Windows 7 Professional Cloverleaf

            Yes, I was just referencing the Client. I should’ve made that clear. We’ll keep the server on our AIX OS.

            I see that you mentioned version 5.8.5. Is that the earliest Client version that is certified or just one that you happened to check?

              The Client is certified back to at least 5.7

                Running on a UNIX HP Platform :

                I have a new PC fresh install of windows 7, I tried to install cloverleaf 5.7Rev2 and it thinks it is installing on a windows 8 platform and wants to install Cloverleaf as a host server. “WRONG”

                i am unable to get cloverleaf 5.7 Rev2 to install as a client on a fresh new install of windows 7 on a new PC.

                BUT

                If cloverleaf 5.7 Rev2 client is already installed and you upgrade to windows 7, Cloverleaf 5.7Rev2 client still works no issues.

                Any IDEAS HELP they are rolling out new PC’s

                  Mike,

                  Contact your Cloverleaf rep.  They have a Win7 install for 5.7 that they can send to you.  You’ll still the need the rev2 patch, but you’ll need to modify the install_patch.cmd to make it think you’re installing in a WinXP env.

                  I’ve installed this on several Win7 enterprise PC’s without issue.

                  Hope this helps.

                  Steve

                      Greetings,

                      To install the 5.7 client on a Windows 7 PC you need to specify that it be installed on an XP SP3 platform at install time.   This is known as “compatibility mode”.   We had the same issues and that did the trick.

                      We are running dual roots and have to keep 5.7R2 around for while.

                      I think you change the properties once you click on the install.exe.

                      Sorry… not Windows savvy but it is not rocket science to set that mode.

                      Good luck!
