Hi there,
I have a version of WIMS-D5 code which cannot be run on Windows XP. Also I don't have its source code to recompile it.
Anybody has a version of WIMS_D5 which can be run on WinXP?
Thanks a lot.

i have WIMS-D4 source code and WIMS-D5B exe file which can be run on Windows XP.
 


can its "compatibility" be set for an older version of windows?

even Qbasic will run on XP if set compatibility for '95...
 


My WIMS-D5 exe file can be run on Windows 7. So my problem is solved.
