  • Hi Marku,

    Quick question; is this release of AutoPIPE compatible with Windows 7? If not, for example when there's a limited compatibility, can you please mention the limitations (e.g. if it only works on W7 Professional or .. ?)?

    Kind regards,

    Hubert

  • Hubert,

    When you install 9.3.0.8, the readme_autopipe.htm file contains the following information:

    Operating System:

    Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 or later OR

    Microsoft Windows Vista Business or higher

    Microsoft Windows 7 Professional or higher

    These are the same as in version 9.2.1.7 and later

    To avoid potential problems, you may need to have the following done before starting AutoPIPE:

    1. Install latest graphics driver from Windows Update or manufacturer’s web site

    2. Install latest IEG security

    3. Activate your AutoPIPE license if not done already (using License Management Tool). You can start this using Start/All Program/Bentley AutoPIPE V8i SELECT Series 2/License Management Tool
