Hello!

 

As the title says, I'm trying to install a program called Audaces, but the thing is that it only works on Windows Xp (with SP3).

I've tried running it with windows compatibility but the app checks what version of windows it runs and forces you to play by their rules.

So I've installed it on a VM on my computer and it runs perfectly, no problem there. So I just copied the virtual drive and installed it on a laptop that runs the same version of VirtualBox.

Let me tell you a bit of Audaces before continuing since it's a very obscure app thanks to it being very industry specific (for designing clothing I believe)

  • It's divided into three apps
    • Trazos
    • Moldes
    • Digiflash

Okay, that's about it, really. So Trazos and Moldes runs with no problem on both Vms (PC and Laptop) but the digiflash runs on my pc but on the laptop it only shows a pop-up that says Digiflash.exe has detected a problem and must be closed (in spanish is "DigiFlash.exe ha detectado un problema y debe cerrarse") And that's pretty much all the information that windows give you (there's the advanced info, but there's just a bunch of code that's way too technical, If you need/find that info useful I'll send it).

So I've installed it on two different laptops and both of them show me the same error. Drivers? No idea. I also skipped the whole VM process and I installed it on a hard drive with dual boot with the same results.

Thanks for reading!

Completely remove the program and right click the installer exe and install it in compatibility mode. 

After installation, be sure to always run as admin and compatibility mode when starting the app.

 

This is the method I used to run 3DMark99 max and 2000 on W7. 

 

Hope this helps!!

It didn't work. The weird thing is that the two other programs that come with the installer work just fine.

It's just that one, and the file isn't corrupt.

I also tried doing that in Win 10, but it just doesn't work, the installer has no problem with win10 but when you run the program there's no error message, It just closes itself.

Is it a 32bit program?
