Windows Embedded System 7

[Paul_Knight_Lockheed_Mart]

I am trying to load Microsoft Access onto a cRIO- runnig WES7 DVD Image 1.0.1f1.  The installer for Access is giving an error: "unable to proceed.  To install and use this product you must be running Window 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

Has National Instrument started supply cRIOs with WES7 (SP1)?  If so is there an upgrade path for existing cRIOs?

Hi Paul_Knight_Lockheed_Martin,

It appears the bigger issue here is that Microsoft Access is saying that it requires Windows 7, not WES 7. Per Microsoft's website the Office 2013 suite is supported on the following operating systems:

• Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit)

• Windows 8.1 (32-bit or 64-bit)

• Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit)

• Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)

• Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit)

• Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)

• Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)

Unfortunately, Windows Embedded Standard 7 is not included amongst that list.
