[Equest-users] Windows 10 SIM File

Fri Apr 7 06:21:31 PDT 2017

The solution may be to install Oracle VM with Windows 7 or XP as guest machine and run eQuest on that guest. I haven’t used this approach with Windows 10 but it works well using Windows 7 host, VM with XP guest to run legacy programs such as eQuest 3.63, CANQUEST, EE4 etc.

I still haven’t run into this one myself (or at least not in recent memory), but I last time this popped up on the lists somebody found manually copying/saving the project into a new directory and opening from there fixed the issue of “blank/incomplete” SIM reports, independent of reboots and reinstallations...  Worth a shot?

I have encountered an odd issue involving Windows 10 / Surface Pro 3 and the actual eQUEST interface missing labels for the input dialogs … but I haven’t seen any similar reports from others just yet.

Subject: [Equest-users] Windows 10 SIM File

All;
eQuest 3.65 build7163.

Appear to be having issues with Windows 10 and SIM file generation. This is both the in D2Sim Viewer and the SIM file in a text editor.  Have tested running with ‘normal’ and in compatibility mode for Windows 7, and Windows Vista SP2. No luck.

Is a hit & miss issue as I was fine, and then this started happening. And now won’t stop.

College has had success getting this resolved with 3.65 build 7173 – but due to previous issues (also sent out on list-serve) about the SIM files becoming unformatted junk, I have been hesitant to ‘upgrade’.

Also, oddly, the SIM file has become all bold text as well….but I can get past that.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
