Logos 5 - non-load /message as to Vista Security package necessary

Just purchased upgrade to Logos 5; ordered DVD due to internet issues in my home area. Loaded DVD, but machine does not run DVD, message comes up as to Vista Security Pack 2 being necessary. Tried download...same message.

I run XP on two machines. IS Logos 5 "Vista-ONLY", or...how do I get it to run on XP machines?

Hi Lee - and welcome to the forums

I run XP on two machines. IS Logos 5 "Vista-ONLY", or...how do I get it to run on XP machines?

The minimum Windows OS requirement for L5 is Vista SP2 as per http://www.logos.com/support/tech-faq

This is due to the use of Net 4.5 which won't run on versions earlier than this and so you won't be able to get it to run on XP.

Do you have the option to upgrade your OS?

No...I cannot upgrade my OS. My consultancy work with the fed govt requires XP for compatability. Vista is NOT recognized for security purposes.

If you can't upgrade from XP then the only option I can see is to contact Logos to request a refund (they have a 30-day money-back policy)

It is not a security issue as Vista Service Pack 2 and above is required.

If have adequate hardware resources, wonder about running Vista or newer in a virtual machine ? so Host OS remains Windows XP.

Keep Smiling [:)]
