Hi, I'mtrying to run Pro-Engineer Wildfire 4 student edition to run on Windows 8. Ican’t get it to launch, and I get a message that says it’s not compatible. Isthere anything that can be done as it did run on Windows 7?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you

Ray

Have you tried running all of the exes in the program folder in Windows 7 Compatibility mode, as well as the main program itself?

You may need to check on the programs website for compatibility.

Ah, that's Pro-E, which has always been a huge pain to install. Wildfire is too old, you are lucky to have been able to run in in Windows 7. You might have to update to Creo.

It may be incompatible with any 64 bit OS too.
