Anyone know if the Lokprogrammer will work with Windows Vista? On the ESU website it only mentions Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP.
Anyone tried it on Vista yet?
Thanks.

Hello,

following the experience read in the Stummi forum not, even if ESU is saying that the own software is Vista compatible. The Software crushes

I have been running Lokprogrammer on Vista 32 Home Premium with no problems for quite a while.
Cheers,

Hi Gautham,

Here's what ESU says about operating under Vista:

Die LokProgrammer Software ist ab Version 2.6.5 kompatibel mit MS Vista. Problematisch ist allerdings, dass für das dem LokProgrammer beiliegende USB-Adapter unter Vista ein neuer Treiber benötigt wird. Wir empfehlen daher, für den Betrieb mit MS Vista die Version 2.6.6 zu verwenden, und den dort mitgelieferten USB-Treiber zu benützen. Gehen Sie vor wie folgt:

• Laden Sie sich die ISO-Datei der Version 2.6.6 herunter und brennen Sie sich eine CD.
• Sichern Sie alle eventuell vorhandenen, selbst erstellten ESU Projektdateien.
• Deinstallieren Sie eine eventuell vorhandene, alte Version der LokProgrammer Software.
• Legen Sie die CD mit 2.6.6. ein. Der Setup-Assistent wird aufgerufen und wird Sie fragen, ob Sie neben der Software auch den USB-Treiber installieren möchten. Installieren Sie unbedingt Software und USB-Treiber.
• Stecken Sie den USB-Adapter ein und starten Sie die Software.

Basicly what they say is that ESU Loprogrammer will work with Vista provided you have Lokprogrammer version 2.6.5 or higher.
It's the USB driver that may cause problems,therefore ESU has issued an updated Version 2.6.6 on their website.

You can download this version from their website with the procedure given above.(Sory in German only)
Go to their website and look at FAQs Lokprogrammer.

-Download version 2.6.6
-Burn your downloaded files to a CD.
-Ensure you have saved all your original settings of your Lokprogrammer.
-Deinstall your old software.
-Load your new program from the CD.The setup agent will ask if you want to load a new USB driver.Install the new driver.
-Put the USB adapter in your computer and start the software.

Here's the link to the ESU site's FAQ on Lokprogrammer: http://www.esu.eu/index.php?id=44

Hope this helps a little.
Please note that the given translation is my interpretation of the original German text.

Kind regards
