Can I install PwPro 7 and 8 on Windows 11?

Post by Jeanpierre »

Hi,

As I need to buy a new machine and still using both PwPro 7 and 8, can I install them on a Windows 11 machine? Are both compatible with W11?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Kind regards,

Jean-Pierre

Both programs work fine with Windows 11 and PWP 8 can be downloaded and installed normally, however the PWP 7 installer does not seem to work any longer for some reason - probably overzealous security settings. Note that Windows 11 requires the 64-bit version of PWP 7.

The workaround to install PWP 7 is as follows:

1) Click the following link:

https://www.dl-c.com/Temp/downloads/Pic ... isable.exe

This should download the file setup-disable.exe into your Downloads folder - wait for it to complete.

2) Go to your Downloads folder and double-click on setup64.exe to start the installer. When it is finished, you can delete the setup-disable.exe file.

Thanks Jonathan for your confirmation and workaround to install PWP 7 on W11. Very much appreciated.

Glad that I can continue working with both PWPro versions on W11!

Enjoy your day.

Greetings,
