Hello,

I cannot manage to install Idiom on Windows 10 as Framework 1.1 cannot be installed anymore on Windows 10.

I found a workaround a year ago but cannot find it anymore.

Could someone help me finding the proper solution to install Idiom on Windows 10?

I have 2 main clients still using it.

Thanks a lot!

Change compatibility settings Dec 24, 2017

Hello Nathalie,

I have been able to install Idiom on a Windows 8.1 machine by following the advice described in the last post of this discussion: https://www.proz.com/forum/cat_tools_technical_help/208846-where_can_i_download_idiom_worldserver_translators_workbench_90149-page2.html

This is the relevant part: I encountered troublesome .NET 1.1 installation, too. Nevertheless, I did install it successfully upon setting its compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Right-click the program, select Properties, and then the Compatibility tab. - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15078/windows-make-older-programs-compatible

I hope it works for you on Windows 10 as well.

Doesn't seem to work Dec 25, 2017

Hello Jean,

Thanks a lot for your answer but Net 1.1 is not supported by Win 10 anymore so I'm not sure it will work.

Merry Christmas

Give it a try Dec 25, 2017

NET 1.1 system requirements mention up to Windows Vista.

Microsoft's article for running older applications includes Windows 10, so there is a good chance this solution will work just as it did for Windows 8.1.

I guess you will have to try, it shouldn't take long.

Best wishes
