Vista x64

Post by kevingnx »

Is eclipse Rel22_rc2 capable of running on vista x64? I've tried and it shows internal errors when saving and importing existing projects.
If not does the newest release work?

Thanks

Hi,
I am currently running the latest release on Windows 7 64-bit. There is a chance you may need to actually make a new project and import your old source files instead of importing the existing project.
The only thing I am having trouble with is the USB driver. Vista 64 and Windows 7 now require that all drivers are signed. If you press F8 and start windows with the signed driver bypass the USB driver works fine, there will be a fix for this in the near future.

OK thanks I'll try THAT.
I did create a test project which built ok but I get the following error saving the workbench when exiting Eclipse.
Problems occurred while trying to save the state of the workbench.
