Windows Support for Omnis 7

Windows XP support

Omnis 7.3 version 8.1 is certified to run on Windows XP, but only with the Windows 2000 look and feel. None of the previous versions of Omnis 7 is certified with Windows XP.

Windows 2000 support

Omnis 7.3 version 8 is certified to run on Windows 2000, though not all Windows 2000 features are necessarily supported. Omnis Software will evaluate problems encountered with the use of Omnis 7.3 version 8 only. Any remedies provided will be limited to ensuring that existing Omnis 7.3 applications will run and behave as they do on Windows NT4. Such remedies will only be provided to customers who maintain Omnis 7 support. Click here for more details about Omnis 7.3 version 8.1 and the support services available.

Omnis 7.3 version 7.1 is certified to run on the original release of Windows 2000. Omnis 7.3 version 7 is no longer supported by Omnis Software. Versions of Omnis 7 earlier than Omnis 7.3 v7.1 are not certified by Omnis to run on Windows 2000 and are no longer supported.

Versions of Omnis 7 earlier than Omnis 7.3 version 6.4 will not run on Windows 2000. This applies to both development and runtime versions. Omnis 7.3 version 6.4 requires the installation of the Windows NT4 SP4 patch from Microsoft. This applies to both development and runtime versions.

Omnis 7.3 v6.4 with this patch was run under Windows 2000, and some intermittent problems were observed. Since this version is not our current supported release Omnis Software will not complete testing nor fix any problems encountered. This version and all predecessors are not certified for use with Windows 2000.

We strongly recommend that mission-critical applications which need to run under Windows 2000 use the current release of Omnis 7.3 version 8.1 to avoid any potential incompatibility.
