ICO Installation

Question

I’ve had a question from a professor who’s using ICO for a research project. He’s encountering intermittent difficulties with the installation of the software; specifically, the installer isn’t compatible with newer versions of Windows. He has an old machine that he can use if necessary, but would prefer to avoid it. Has anyone else had or heard of similar issues?

Answer

What year is your researcher using? As of 2001, its to be used with Windows XP, 7, 8 as long as have MS Access. I do not believe it works with Windows 7 (v. 1998 to 2010). 2010 Q4 onwards works with XP and Windows 7.

There is also an ICO product review at the DLI ontario training, which can be found on the DLI training repository <https://cudo.carleton.ca/dli-training/3774>.
