Ryan Renz Posted June 27, 2021 at 11:11 PM Posted June 27, 2021 at 11:11 PM Hello, I am getting back into flying and VATSIM. Downloaded Swift 9.5.151 32bit and installed. Duringthe installation I get this message: Problem running post-install setup. Installation may not be complete correctly Unknown error while running C:\Program Files\swift-0.9.5-32bit/bin/swiftlauncher -i --bootstrapurl http://data store.swift-project.org/shared/ & I click OK and it finishes the install, I get a setup wizard stating Swift has completed setup on my system, I clock okay again and that's it. But if I go to programs and try to run any of the Swift software I get an error box stating ... is not a valid Win32 application. Is there something I am missing? I'm continuing my search online in the meantime. In My (virtual) Hangar: C172 :: C-FXMY M20M :: C-GRYR Baron 58 :: C-TVUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebojsa milosavljevic Posted June 28, 2021 at 09:50 AM Posted June 28, 2021 at 09:50 AM I believe swift needs a minimum of Windows7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Renz Posted June 28, 2021 at 03:12 PM Author Posted June 28, 2021 at 03:12 PM Someone should know definitively, but I think there are people running it on XP. Too bad we couldn't use FSInn still. Everything always has to be upgraded even when things work fine. Thank you for your reply.

Claude ROULLIER Posted June 28, 2021 at 04:47 PM Posted June 28, 2021 at 04:47 PM I know, and i am sorry: supported_os_simulators [swift Documentation] (swift-project.org) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Renz Posted June 28, 2021 at 06:48 PM Author Posted June 28, 2021 at 06:48 PM Yes, I obviously did see that page, thank you. However I also noticed Windows 7 doesn't even meet the requirements. I'm going to see if I can track down an earlier version that might install. If not, I suppose I'll have to scrap everything, purchase a brand-new system, OS, and the new flight simulator software; lots of time and money...

Alistair Thomson Posted June 28, 2021 at 09:01 PM Posted June 28, 2021 at 09:01 PM Apparently FS9/XP can be made to work. Not supported, which was Claude's point, but doable. Maybe a PM to Philip Cohen to see what versions he had success with?

Ryan Renz Posted February 19, 2022 at 09:27 PM Author Posted February 19, 2022 at 09:27 PM I still haven't been successful in getting this to work. I went online and downloaded the oldest variant of the software I could find to no avail, it still won't run. I'll attach a screen shot of the error on install, however the install does go through and completes "successfully".

Andreas Fuchs Posted February 19, 2022 at 10:15 PM Posted February 19, 2022 at 10:15 PM You will need one of the latest releases, all older versions will not work with VATSIM's new Velocity server protocol and technology.

Ryan Renz Posted February 19, 2022 at 10:47 PM Author Posted February 19, 2022 at 10:47 PM (edited) I can understand that, but I was hoping to get it installed first; and then hope to update it and have it patch itself to work?! - something to that effect Just trying everything I can.
