Hi,

ReportNet 1.1 has been out of support and unavailable since March 2009 - it is five years past the end of its shelf life. The last supported windows OS versions for ReportNet Framework Manager were Windows XP / Windows Server 2003. I would very much doubt you will get any luck with using Windows 7.

Your best option is to get off such an old software release and move up to a supported version - 10.2.1 for example.

Good luck!

MF.

What MFGF said, but... if you really *must* get it to run - maybe in preparation for a migration :) - since you said it works on an XP box you could run it in a virtual machine. Windows 7 Professional and Enterprise versions are bundled with a license and supporting software to get an XP vm.

But you really, really need to upgrade to something still supported.
