  • Clarion 6.3 on Windows 10 64 Bit

    From Joe Drive@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 27 20:08:29 2019
    Hi,
    I Just bought a laptop with windows 10 and 64 OS. I've installed Clarion 6.3 on it. But it can not run or open there's a message "This app can't run on your PC "
    Can anyone tell me the solution?

    thx,

    Joe

    Set up a Virtual PC ?
    or
    Upgrade to a newer version of Clarion

    Not really. 64bit Windows does not run 16bit apps, which is what the C6
    IDE is.

    You either need a older version of Windows (W2K, XP, 32bit W7) in a VM
    to run C6 in, or upgrade Clarion to a newer version where the IDE isn't
    16bit.

    OR a 32 bit version of whatever windows
    C6 run fine in a 32bit OS of any windows flavour

    Hi Joe,
    Windows 10 does not support 16Bit and some files in Clarion 6.3 require 16Bit. I use an old XP computer with Clarion 6.1 for coding and keep it clean as with no internet connection. Not an ideal solution but OK if you want to stick to Clarion 6.3 as it still creates 32Bit apps.

    Hi,

    I use a 32-bit installation of windows 10 with clarion 5.5 and Clarion 6.3 works like a charm

    32-bit computer could run a 16-bit subsystem that Clarion needs for many of its processes. 64-bit computers can run 32-bit processes, but do not have the 16-bit subsystem necessary to run CW.

    The easiest way is to do a P2V (Physical to Virtual) and make a VM (Virtual Machine) from your old computer. The best is VMware. VMware has a free ISO you can download that runs P2V to produce a VM from your old machine. I personally use an old copy
    of VMware Workstation. It is the best for this type of thing but not free. Next, you can get a new version of VMware Workstation Player that is free and will work fine with one VM at at time. Oracle makes VirtualBox, is free, and has capabilities
    between VMware Workstation and Player, but it's also flaky sometimes. Then there is Hyper-V that is part of Windows 10 Pro. It's and uninstallable module from within Windows and is a Type-1 hypervisor but instead of it being the fastest of the bunch,
    it's the slowest and the least flexible. A lot of people use it because it comes with Windows. If it's XP, keep it off the Internet. The only AV for it is AVAST, but I don't run it because it annihilates performance.

    ! *** IMPORTANT ***
    When the VM first fires up, it will asked you if you moved it or copied it. The answer MUST BE that you moved it. If you don't, it gets new keys, and you will need new licenses for software. You may still have an issue or two, but it will cause the
    least carnage.
