Windows 8.1 Compatibility?

Hi Tom,

I am currently running version 1.23.9.07 A200x built on June 15, 2007.  I am running under Windows XP.   I bought a new machine and on the new machine I am running Windows 8.1 Pro 64, with Office / Access 2013.   Before I get myself into trouble, can I install this same version on the Windows 8.1 machine and move my catalog over?  If not, do you have a specific version that will work under Windows 8.1 and that will read my existing catalog?   Thank you again for a great program, and for the help.

Re: Windows 8.1 Compatibility?

Gregory,

Release 1.23.13.04 works with Windows 8  64-bit and Access 2013 32-bit.  More at http://www.dvdregister.com/download.htm  Your current DVDR Desktop version will not install on Windows 8 and Access 2013.

As far as I know, no one has tested 1.23.13.04 with Windows 8.1.  However I give it a good chance that it will work on Windows 8.1.  If you installed the 64-bit version of Office then there is no version of the DVD Register Desktop that will work.

You will need to make a backup file of you catalog (File>Export>Backup...). It is required to migrate your catalog from the old to new PC.

Re: Windows 8.1 Compatibility?

Hi Tom,

I must have the 32-bit version of Access 2013 because everything worked.  I downloaded the release, unzipped it with the password you gave me, installed it, applied catalog updates 220-224, and went through the procedure to backup and then import my catalog.  It all worked just great.  All installs should be this painless.  I had 252 records and all of them came in just fine.

If I am the first one to install this version on Windows 8.1 Pro 64, I can tell you for sure that it works just fine.

Thank you once again, sincerely.

Re: Windows 8.1 Compatibility?

I'm running 1.23.13.04 in Windows 8.1 64-bit and Access 2007. I did have to re-install the app after upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1. I was able to then import my backup with no issues.
