Does anyone successfully have SEDRE working on a Windows 7 64 bit machine ?
I've been trying for a few days now, doc backup works fine, SEDRE installs but wont let me view any diagrams.
I have installed SVG viewer.
At first I was getting a this document cant be found message so I have re installed it, now when I get to selecting the diagram I just get a white screen where the diagram should be. Any ideas ?

Re: SEDRE on windows 7 64 bit
I have it running on Windows 10 64bit. Try closing the 'white window' and you may then see the main Sedre window.

This is what im getting. There is also a blank pop up that appears when I open SEDRE, I have allowed pop ups & it makes no difference if I close the pop up or not.

Re: SEDRE on windows 7 64 bit
It's fussy about the browser as they changed some software components in IE 11 and later that it doesn't like. I have it running on a Windows 7 Ultimate Virtual Machine under Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit, but I have it running under IE 9,

Re: SEDRE on windows 7 64 bit
I completely forgot to say, you will need to install the 32 bit version of the IE9 browser as SEDRE will always open a new instance of the default system browser and it does not like the 64 bit version at all.
I keep this software well away from my main OS given its quirks and messy installation routine.

Thanks, i'll look into rolling back to IE9.
How to I go about making a separate OS just for running this ?

Re: SEDRE on windows 7 64 bit
There's an article here that might be of use:

You'll need a licence key for the VM OS though and an ISO image of the OS you intend to install. Ensure your hardware, storage and memory is up to spec beforehand.

Re: SEDRE on windows 7 64 bit
OK i've been having another go at this & its now driving me crazy.
I've resurected an old PC & done a fresh install of 32 bit XP with sp3 and running IE 8 & im still having (amost) the same problem.
The only differnce now it on the white screen i now get the text > The file xxxxxxx.svgz is not available.
If i dont do the full install & do it so i need the discs to view diagrams they load no problem but i would really like to have it so i dont need to put discs in every time i want to view them.
Also slightly off topic, can you save the diagrams & repair procedures as PDF's ? How do people post up diagrams etc on here ?

Re: SEDRE on windows 7 64 bit
Wheeler, I've got it running on Vista 32 bit virtual machine inside Win 10 64 bit. I gave up trying to do a full install - it takes forever, and kept falling over - I just did the partial install, then I've got the DVDs on the PC as ISOs, and mount them virtually with Alcohol 120% which only takes a few seconds.
