On July 28, 2015 Microsoft released Windows 10. Microsoft elected to skip Windows 9.
The desktop release install pack 1.23.13.04 was successfully tested on the following Windows 10 configuration:
Windows 10 Professional 64-bit with Access 2003 Runtime
The install pack worked successfully and the DVDR Desktop Application appears to work correctly on Windows 10. Rapid Web and Live Update work correctly. Windows 10 has restored the traditional start button and desktop that was present in earlier versions of Windows but was removed in Windows 8 and 8.1.
With Windows 10, Microsoft has provided a new Internet browser called Windows Edge. Edge is the default browser in Windows 10. However, Internet Explorer 11 is included in the Windows 10 standard install but is a little hard to find.
The DDVR desktop exports html formatted reports and launches Internet Explorer to view the saved reports. To make this function work properly in Windows 10 use the following procedure to initialize IE11:
1. Use the Windows Search function (sits immediately to the right of the Start Button at the lower left hand coner of the desktop) and enter "Internet Explorer".
2. Internet Explorer will appear as a choice in the search results.
3. Open IE and let it walk you through the IE setup options.
4. Once the IE setup is complete you can close IE.
If you export an HTML report from the DVDR without initializing IE, then the DVDR will hang and after a while will issue an error message about a problem with an ActiveX control. The HTML report will get saved but the IE will not open.
There is to reason that a previously exported HTML report cannot be viewed in Edge or Firefox or another browser.
Note that if you have a DVDR Install CD, it will not install on Windows 10. When the installer CD auto-runs it examines the PC and identifies the version of Windows that is installed on the PC. Since the script does not know about Windows 10, it cannot identify the version of Windows and produces an error message and the script quits before the install begins. There is a work around for this issue:
1. Browse the CD-ROM and run the Access installer (if a copy of Access is not present on the PC). Let the Access install run to completion.
2. Browse the CD-ROM and run the DVDR installer.
Future install CD-ROMs will be able to identify Windows 10 and will run automatically.
