Modern OS, legacy Progress

[zeboo77]

Did you ever get it installed?
If not, let me know, I have installed 9.1e on a Windows 11 machine plenty of times. A couple of tricks. Yes, not supported, yes, very old edition, but if you are needing it installed - it is possible. there is a process you have to kill to get the installation to complete. Help won't work either.

Hi,
Hello,

I have a legacy inventory management application that is currently running on the following environment:

• Progress 9.1D
• Progress Database Server running on Windows 2000 Server
• 5–6 client PCs
• Clients connect to the database server via TCP/IP
• The client application currently runs in a 32-bit Windows 10 environment
• The application is a traditional Progress/ABL application
• We still have a valid Progress 9.1D license

I would like to replace the obsolete Windows 2000 Server and the legacy 32-bit client environment with a currently supported platform, while keeping the existing application and business functionality.

Our preferred target would be something along the lines of:

• Windows 11 x64 clients
• A supported Windows platform for the database server not necessarily Server OS
• Migrated Progress database
• Existing ABL application with minimal changes, if possible

I would like to avoid rewriting the application from scratch. Id
I would appreciate some guidance what would be the easiest way. Thank you very much.
