I could see that my windows 7 is (Version 6.1, build 7601, SP1)
But I am facing issues with installing SQL Server 2017, due to
outdated OS.
Thanks in advance
SQL Server 2017 requires at least Windows 8, so you can't install it on Windows 7 at all. Windows 7 is out of mainstream support for almost 4 years already, and Windows 8 is out of mainstream support for about an year. If your are asking for a desktop Windows version, you should be on Windows 10 to use it.
I have an install that is made in Advanced Installer that works fine in Windows 8 & 10, but fails on Windows 7. Does a Windows 7-client have any requirements for connecting to a SQL Server (2012, on a different machine), that a Windows 8 or 10 machine does not have? Some drivers that does not exist on a clean Windows 7? The application in a Entity Framework-app and uses Framework 4.6.1 if that matters...
[Edit] Based on all the comments below I refrase my question to this: For a Clean, fully updated, Windows 7 to connect to a remote SQL Server (2008+), is there any other requirements/drivers that is needed to be installed other than .Net framework 4.6.1? For Windows 8 & 10 apparently there are no such requirements...
The problem was partly the firewall, partly my network and partly my code. There are no special drivers etc needed to make a EF-application work in Windows 7. Once network, firewall etc was configured correctly, my application worked.
I am trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 on my 64-bit Windows XP operating system. Unfortunately, I need Windows Installer 4.5 to do this, and Windows Installer doesn't seem to run on 64-bit Windows XP. Is there a way around this?
It is actually supported on Windows XP 64-bit.
Windows XP 64-bit is Windows Server 2003 in disguise (but they often forget to mention Windows XP 64-bit - for instance, PowerShell 2.0 can actually be installed on Windows XP 64-bit). Thus locate "WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x64.exe" (direct download URL), download and install.
I have changed my operating system from windows XP to windows 7. I installed firebird 1.5.3.4870 and driver firebird odbc 1.2.0.69 on windows 7. But when I go to ODBC Data Source Administrator -> drivers I cannot see firebird driver. When I install new version of firebird driver I see it on data source administrator but I can't open old databases. Is it possible to open firebird databases created on win xp in windows 7.
Thanks and best regards
If you migrated from Windows XP 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit you will have to backup (on Windows XP!) and restore the database (on Windows 7), as the database structure of Firebird database before 2.1 (I think, could be 2.0) are not transportable between 32 bit and 64 bit architectures without backup/restore.
Also be aware that Firebird 1.5 is not compatible with Windows 7 (it was never tested under Windows Vista and Windows 7), so you might want to upgrade to Firebird 2.5.1 as well (although you might want to test that first).
I've compiled my WPF project on Windows 7 64-bit, using VS 2010 and .NET 4. I have compiled it as a 32-bit application, of course, and it works fine in both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista/7.
But in Windows XP SP2 32-bit, I get an error:
wpfApp has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
How can I fix this so that my application will run on Windows XP?
.NET 4 requires Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Either upgrade to SP3, or downgrade your project to target .NET 3.5.
