Can a lookout 4.0 application run on an XP machine

[Dan5575]

Will a Lookout 4.0 application run on an XP machine? We supplied a machine with a computer running NT and a Lookout application developed in 4.0. They have asked for a “plug and play” spare. I can easily get an XP industrial computer but what will need to be done to get the application to run on an XP machine.

Thanks,

Do you want to run the lookout application in Lookout 4.0 software on XP machine?

Officially, lookout 4.0 doesn't support XP. When it was developed, there was no XP, and we didn't modified anything in 4.0 for XP compatibility. But I have Lookout 4.0 installed on my XP computer. I don't see big problem when using it.

If you run Lookout 4.0 software on XP, maybe you will meet problem in dual core. But you'd better try it first, and then let's see what we can do on any problem.

But if you run 4.0 application in lookout 6.x software on XP, there is no problem.

Will 6.x open and run an app. that was developed in 4.0?  The discussion forums seem to say that it will not. Problems with the citadel database or something

Yes, Lookout 6.x can open and run 4.0 process. You need to open the .lks file.

The Citadel may be a problem when you want to merge your 4.0 database to the new 6.x database. You need first to convert and then archive.
