Salesware currently supports the following operating systems:

 

Installation of operating systems is performed in accordance with standard Microsoft procedures. For hardware specifications, see the Salesware System Architecture and Specifications document.

 

Note: If you want to run the installers on unsupported operating systems (not recommended), you must first download the appropriate Windows Installer installation file from Microsoft and install it. Windows Installer v4.5 must be installed prior to running the installs (these are available in service packs for supported operating systems, but must be downloaded from the Microsoft web site to install on non-supported operating systems.)  If you don’t do this, the following message pops up:

“This operating system is no longer supported by Microsoft and is therefore not supported by Siriusware Inc. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!  If you have problems with the installation or have problems running the software, you must upgrade your computer to a supported operating system and re-install Siriusware software before calling Siriusware Technical Support.”

 

Note: Can you run the new Salesware .msi (Microsoft Installer) installers on a system with the old (.exe-based) installs on them?  Yes, but you must run the new Common Files installer first; it is a good practice to remove the old Common Files application first. All new Salesware installers are .msi-based, except for Server Files, which remains .EXE-based.

 

Note: Never exclude installation of the Accessories folder when installing an operating system on a computer that is used with Salesware. If you do, you get OLE errors and some applications become unusable.
