[amsat-bb] Re: Any way I can get AOS.EXE to run on Win7 64-bit?

[Bill Acito W1PA]

The Stand-alone version (AOS205?). I had this running in XP, but my new work 
laptop has Win7 64 bit.
I have Nova, and can use the scripting function to generate the same thing, 
but I liked this little program.
The error messages I get do indicate it is a "64 bit" issue (but despite 
setting compatibility mode to Win95, it still won't run.

Thanks all for your input.

That may be the problem...  Are you using the standalone AOS from 
www.dk1tb.de,
or the one that comes bundled with SatPC32?  The standalone version is 
listed on
the Downloads page as a "DOS version."  Not sure if it will run under Win7. 
The
version bundled with SatPC32 expects to find the keps file in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32\Kepler\ .  Not sure if it has any
other dependencies.


Erich, the author, is on this list & will probably chime in...
