CN 5.60 with Win2k

Post by Josh Rayburn »

I saw the note about CN5.6 conflicting with Win2k machines - when is the update for my old dinosaur expected out? Actually, what I really want to know is: am I going to be forced to upgrade something else in order to upgrade CN to the latest version once the fix is out?
Thanks,
jnr

Josh,

Engineering is currently working on the install for WIN 2k controls and I believe they are getting close to the resolution. Yes, you will be required to update your control if you do not have the minimum requirements stated on the Control Nesting update site.

Thanks Ryan, I've got PM and it looks like I have Build 9 so I guess I should be OK. There does not appear to be a later version of the THM software, is that correct?

There is a later version of THM 5.05, it is Build 11, however, Build 9 is the minimum requirement.

Ryan, does build 11 run on my dinosaur without a control upgrade? Please tell me what additional info you would need to make that determination- thanks!
