ELSAWIN and Vista?

[Issac Hunt]

I need a few wiring diagrams to assist me with my next retro-fit. So I was thinking of getting hold of a recent version of elsawin, I recall problems when using Vista though?

Does anyone have a copy that works with Vista (I have no access to any XP computers) and would be willing to drop me a copy in exchange for beer tokens??

Thanks in advance!

run microsoft virtual machine under vista (free from ms) and run elsawin and etka under xp in the virtual machine

i run them in vm cos my main machine runs 64bit xp

Is that easy to do and set up? Does it consume much hard drive space? I'm not exactly close to being MCSE certified!!

just download the exe installer

http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/0/e/30e87f07-d6b3-4ab3-a93d-a17814ed8b4b/32 BIT/setup.exe
is the 32bit version - run setup.exe and follow the instructions

you will need a iso cd image of xp to install to the virtual machine, or you can use a real cdrom or dvd in your drive - the virtual machine can use either.

very simple - just use the wizard to create a new machine and follow the steps.

Cheers Dunk, I will give it a go!

I'm 'obtaining' a copy of XP as we speak!
