Has anyone successfully installed 6.1 on Windows Vista? - Old part-timer


Posted: Sep 07, 2010

I haven't tried to install it yet but I'm seeing so many people reporting trouble that I'm afraid to even try.  This is my own computer and it runs Windows Vista.  What are my chances of having the new version 6.1 install without it turning into a nightmare?

Don't waste your time. It WILL NOT WORK on Vista or Windown 7 (64 bit systems) even running as administrator. The upgrade is NOT capatible with 65 bit systems. According to Support, it may NEVER be.

sorry, typo s/b Windows 7 - nm

I'm glad I asked before I tried it! They really need to work the kinks out BEFORE they try to get everyone on board. How tough would it be to list the system requirements for the new version?!

If you are running Vista 32 bit though - sm

apparently it will work, but NOT 64 bit systems. Best to check your system specs to be sure.
Yes. you would think they could let us know - sm

the system requirements. Hard to believe they didn't make it compatible for 64 bit systems. They're still in the dark ages as far as systems go.

Jan 22, 2012

I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit and would love to use it to work on, but tried yesterday and it wouldn't not work.  It kept saying it needed NET Framework version 2.0 (SP2) downloaded from Microsoft site, which I did, and it still didn't work.  Why can't they come out with DQS 7 yet?  It's already a month past due.  It'd be nice if they could finally get something right! ...
