I had been using Platform-IO up to 2019 but when I reopened a project things started getting worse and worse. Tasks disappeared and it took a while to be able to compile again. Now Platform-IO has disappeared completely and I was getting deprecation warnings in the "Toggle developer tool' console.
Now after a complete reinstall of VS, Platform-IO etc. the IDE is still not functioning and I regret ever using it. It is like you jump into your car begging it to start. For professional use (able to restart your car every day without a mechanics) this solution needed to be solid and reliable which it does not seem to be. I will have to switch to another IDE I guess. The name Microsoft should have make me hesitate ...
I am using Windows 7 Professional and NO I WILL NOT UPGRADE THE OS.
Is there any means to install a functioning VS-Code / Platform-IO on Windows 7 or is it just an idea of an IDE ?
Sorry to appear mean but "Making you more productive" sounds like a scorn.
I recently tried installing Platform IO on a Win 7 PC of a colleague and experienced similar issues like you. Seems like current Platform IO versions / builds are not compatible and therefore not runnable on Windows 7.
Only idea comes to my mind is using legacy / previous releases of VS Code and Platform IO (manual plugin installation with a legacy release) to get a runnable environment on Win 7, but I didn't test it since I ended up installing a recent Ubuntu next to Win 7. (Seemed like a better solution to me).
Here you can find all of the older releases of VS Code & Platform IO:

Good luck ;)

I use Codewarrior
- V4.7 for HCS12X
- V6.3 for HCS08
in Windows XP.
Moving CW to Windows 10 seems impossible.
It won’t install, and dongle licensing does not work.
I have tried to figure this out on the NXP site, but I find it extremely difficult and confusing.
Which Codewarrior is needed for HCS12X and HCS08 in 32 and 64 bit Windows 10?
Yeah it is nearly impossible. I've struggled lots with this problem. There is an unofficial "hack" someone made - won't link it because my browser says the site is unsafe. However, it would seem that hack only works up to Windows 8, not on Windows 10. I have both IDEs (HCS08 and HCS12) running perfectly on a Windows 7 machine, with dongle license.
We managed to get it running so-so on Windows 10 by doing a dirty hard copy of the hacked installation folder to Windows 10. Various mysterious bugs followed though, so not the best idea.
Another option is to run the Windows XP mode emulator from Microsoft, but it is no longer supported for Windows 10.
So ultimately there are two options left if you are stuck with Windows 10:
Move development to the worst IDE ever released, Codewarrior for Eclipse. Please note that the future of this IDE is uncertain after the NXP merger. They might decide to put their money on their other trash IDE, LPCxpresso.
Port your project to another compiler or MCU.
I would recommend to install it in a VMWare or virtualBox container using Windows 7 as OS.
This makes it possible, that your installation will work even in some years.
I'm using such a container (with WinXP) for an old Visual Basic 6 installation and HEW-IDE.
You should use at least Win7, to avoid the network problems with WinXP (SMB1 can't be connected anymore).
There is a Codewarrior Classic 6.3 community project for RS08, S08, ColdFire V1 for Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. Basically, the installer is repacked will all service packs and patches for USBDM and PEMicro tools.
If you have an obsolete programming tool you will need to use CW 6.3 on XP. Also, if you have these specific family of parts S08: RN, RNA, PA, PT, Kinetis (including Tower), ColdFire V2 you must use the bloated eclipse version CodeWarrior 11
For S12 or S12X CodeWarrior Classic 5.2 for Windows 7 - Windows 10
But when they released 5.2 they removed most of the older derivatives from it, but you can add them back using this procedure CodeWarrior 5.2
I installed CoreAVC 3.0.1 on my Windows 8.1 64bit, and want to use its decoder in MPC-HC. 32bit versions of CoreAVC and MPC-HC on Win8.1 64bit worked well. But when it turns to 64bit, MPC-HC can't find CoreAVC, and re-register CoreAVCDecoder64.ax fails with "A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed" error. I have already re-installed CoreAVC for many times. Can somebody help me with this? Thanks!
Since nobody ever seems to have answered this...CoreAVC is simply not supported under Windows 8/8.1/10. It has not been updated in quite some time and appears as though it will not be in the near future. Best bet is to try the CCCP for MPC-HC.
If you want to run HD video with CoreAVC, you'd better just go back to Windows 7.
First my specs are an Intel i7 toshiba laptop with 8gigs of RAM running windows 8.1 with all the latest updates. When I first launch any of Jetbrains IDEs after install, it would ask me for my workspace location and then it would proceed to do nothing after than, but it stays in memory and slows down my entire system for about a minute, after that, the computer stops being slow and returns to normal but the program still does nothing (no GUI) but still remains in memory, what is going on??? Thanks in advance.
It's hard giving a definite answer to your question. But it sounds to me like you have a problem with your Java. Make sure you have it installed and at the latest version.
Also, try looking for matching bugs in the JetBrains bug tracker.
Replacing the jre folder within the IDE folder (pycharm,intelliJ,etc.) with one from an updated JDK install not JRE install.
ex:
JDK/jre7 copy over Jetbrains/IDE/jre
fixes the issue
Does anyone know if Powerbuilder 10 is compatible with Windows 8 (Both the IDE and the runtime module)?
It seems like 11.5 is officially supported, but I couldn't find any info on PB 10's compatibility on Windows 8.
If it isn't, any tips on the migration process from 10->Further version? (Anything particular we have to watch out for?)
You should have no problem with running PB10 applications on Windows 8, appart perhaps not being not fully compliant with Win8 standards (concerning the placement of application data files, access rights on files, and so on mostly related to UAC file virtualization).
Neither you should have big problems with running the IDE, but maybe some minor issues (I think about an issue on the retrieval argument editor on PB11.5 that could also address PB10).
This is one of those things where you just have to try it yourself. The number of PowerBuilder developers with Windows 8 is likely very small.
I am supposed to be getting a Surface Pro 2 when they come out Oct 22nd which will run Windows 8.1. Hopefully there won't be any issues.
I am not sure about PB10 but I have used PB 10.5 in Win8 with no problem.
We have serious issues with running a PB10 application on Windows 8 computers.
Application runs fine until user enters text in datawindow fields, the application "stopped working". The problem is that it happens randomly, 10 fields can be entered without a problem but at the next field the "stopped working" pops up en the application is closed the next time it might happen after entering 2 fields.
The same application runs already for years on many computers unders XP, Vista, Windows 7 without any issue.
Until now we still have no clou what is causing it. Also we have no idea where to start searching.
The application is developed andf deployed under XP.
Next week we are going to setup a development environment under Windows, hopefully this will give us some more light on the issue.
Two things you need to realize:
PB10 was built (and support development stopped) before before Win8 was conceived, so obviously Sybase couldn't do anything in PB to help with Win8 compatibility. You're relying on MS's ability to maintain a backward compatible environment. IME, they do a pretty good job (better than my experience upgrading in the Unix world, but I'd imagine YMMV), but it's never perfect.
PowerBuilder is powerful enough to allow you to build an application that will break under any operating system. PB10 may have been supported on XP, but I guarantee you that I could have written something that violated an XP rule, or corrupted memory, or whatever, and would have been broken under XP. (I've seen memory corruptions that didn't manifest themselves until after an OS upgrade or some other change; so "broken" may not even manifest symptoms yet.) Is that Sybase's fault? I don't think so. They're the rope manufacturer; if you hang yourself....
Bottom line is what's already been said: no matter what the manufacturer or anyone else says, the only answer worth anything is the results of your own testing. My "Hello World" app may run in Win8 just fine, but your app that taps into the TCP/IP stack, leverage protected mode calls, sending printing language codes directly to the point-of-sale bar code printer, etc....
Good luck,
Terry.
I have been using SimpleOpenNI, a wrapper for Processing, all summer now. I use it for the Kinect to make games and demos. Last week, I have been getting a fatal error in my processing window and none of the SimpleOpenNI projects will work. Here is the error:
SimpleOpenNI Version 0.20
A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x72e8f955, pid=4596, tid=4624
JRE version: 6.0_24-b07
Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (19.1-b02 mixed mode windows-x86 )
Problematic frame:
C [OpenNI.dll+0xf955]
An error report file with more information is saved as:
C:\Users\mss042\Desktop\processing-1.5.1\hs_err_pid4596.log
If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.
See problematic frame for where to report the bug.
It appears as if the new OpenNI/NITE/SensorKinect drivers do not work with the SimpleOpenNI wrapper. I have tried it with people using the old drivers and everything still works. Problem is, you cannot download the old drivers off of the websites so I cannot test if it's that or not. You can see everything I've downloaded from the simpleopenni site: http://code.google.com/p/simple-openni/
Any help with this error would be appreciated. Thanks.
Mike
It looks like there's a problem with OpenNI.dll. Make sure that:
You have the dll (It should be in Program Files where you've installed OpenNI)
Make sure you've got the Environment Variables for the Open NI paths and that the paths are correct, otherwise, you might have the .dll file, but the .jnilib wouldn't know where it is.
Had a Kinect Workshop in Uni, and my colleagues using Windows all had issues with the drivers,
so I'm just passing on what they did:
Even though they had 64-bit versions of Windows they used the 32-bit version, and used Brekel OpenNI Kinect Auto Installer - Developer Edition v1.3.2.3.exe(direct link via developkinect.com) after reading this message:
Comment 4 by tijmenva...#gmail.com, Oct 21, 2011 Hey all I have Solved
the unsatisfied link dll error on windows 7 64 bits by installing java
runtime (jre-7u1-windows-i586.exe)and (Brekel OpenNI Kinect Auto
Installer - Developer Edition v1.3.2.3.exe) I uninstalled everything
and than it worked :)
hope this helpes
in Issue#17 on the SimpleOpenNI project issues page.
Another colleague used Synapse and OSC in Processing instead of SimpleOpenNI, but she had loads of errors with the drivers (basically spent a few good hours uninstalling/installing different versions). In her case, uninstalling any previous partial or complete drivers from the machine and deleting any registry entries related to PrimeSense(Sensor, Nite) and OpenNI, then using the installers from the links on the Synapse page, worked for her.
HTH
This is a long shot, but that exact error is also given if the Kinect USB and/or power supply simply becomes unplugged. Thought it was worth mentioning as it is not obvious from the error message itself and it may help someone out if they kicked their power supply and started searching for the above exception :)
