If not all, at least the latest versions of Encore 5 (and Encore 4 as well, by the way) have always worked “perfectly” on (good versions of) Windows 10 and even 11.
When I say “perfectly”, I mean “as well and as bad as they did when they were released”….What is true, is that an installed library on one system cannot be just copied to another one, one needs to run an installation file. And since many upgrades were done using online updates, it’s not easy to find a good installation file.
If you send me a mail to andre(.)baeck(at)gmail(.)com, I’ll send you the most recent official build of E504.
To Yabori: send me a mail at andre(dot)baeck@gmail(dot)com, I’ll send you a link with installation files.
My Win11 system is a 64-bit system. That E504 and E455 run on that system is a fact.
If I have to trust the above quote, I must suppose that they are neither depending on 16-bit binaries nor on 32-bit drivers.
It’s quite reasonable to be looking forward to Encore 6, since Encore 5 is now quite old, and wasn’t in a so good health when it stopped being supported…
But I haven’t seen that Windows 11 would not run 32-bit applications. Encore 504 runs in Win11, it even installs. Even Encore 455 runs in W11, but I’m not sure I ever tried to install it.
Hello Robert,
If your old computer isn’t dead, but just old, you should be able to copy the Encore product folder (in c:/Program Files) to the new one via an external medium. Or find that folder on a backup.
Such a copy should work, since you already went through the standard installation process with 875.
Neyac2021, please don’t shout on us. The users of this forum are all, just as you, waiting for progress, though unable to say much more.
How? Time needed apart, a person can very well work on two different programs, with or without file compatibility.
Why? Perhaps, making one single program meant to combine the strength of two would just create two sets of unhappy people.
My personal opinion is that, simply a project to have Overture reading the Encore/MTdL source files would have been seen as sufficient for the Encore users, given that, 2(3?) years go, Encore was seen as dead and buried.
I couldn’t tell if there was, or was’t, a production version called 858. It could have been in the form of an update.
Anyway, 875 is more recent (or better, less old).
