Astro 25 Software on XP

Post by Madtownmedic »

I'm trying to program my xts2500, i use an xp pro toughbook. I can get up to R11 software installed on it, but nothing newer. I can get it to work on a vista machine but i would just like to keep all of my software in one place. The software i'm trying to install is R19.01. Any thoughts?

What's the error it's giving you?

it gets to the point where you click "next" to install software and then it freezes. I've let it sit on that screen for a while and nothing happens. I have installed it on a vista computer and it works fine. I just want to keep all my cps in one spot

Windows up to date? .Net Framework installed and up to date? Are you having trouble installing any other programs?
