Z Suite 7 not working on Windows 8.1?

Z-SUITE/Firmware General Discussion
#1
Hello,
I'm trying to run new Z-suite on Windows 8.1 enterprise (64 bit). I'm getting a hardware version windows, I chose mine, click ok and nothing is happening, anyone tried It with the same Windows version?
I'm a mac user, just installed windows via bootcamp just to get the newest z-suit, maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks for Your help ;)

Try to run ZSuite as administrator (right click on the app and choose run as administrator or something like a this).

I use 8.1 64bit via boot camp on MacBook without any problem but we will check it.

Also try to disable AV software if you have any.

I am using ZSuite 0.0.7 with Win 8.1 64bit with no issues.

Dhatw.

Still doesn't work, i get this message:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in application.If you click continue the app will ignore this error and attempt to contiune..... Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

I've attached the details in text file, can't paste it here, windows doesn't like me :/

Do you have installed .NET framework 4.0 or higher ?

Hi,

I had exactly same issue (Windows 7 PL, on MAC via bootcamp), I lost like a half day on this, as no one reported this issue before, so I was sure it's my setup, so I was trying different version of .Net framework, I can't exactly tell you what solved my issue, as this started to work "unexpectly" ;) BUT in the end:

I installed .Net framework 4.0.30319

I installed Z-Suite V0.0.6 - this works, then installed V0.0.7 _in_different_location, and call the shortcut differently, so you can have 2 versions of Z-Suite simultaneously

Next run v 0.0.6 - it works, then run V 0.0.7 - and it it worked :)

NET Framework is installed.

There is a Mac version now and it's working good, so for now I will not fight with windows :)

Thanks!

btw, ugly Mac version.

Works on Mac but not a truly Mac application.

And I need to change permissions inside the application as it refused to open. (show packages > Contents > Resources > Z-Suite.exe)

Which permissions did you change to make it work? I am using Mavericks and 0.0.8 won't start...  :(

“Right click” on the file and then choose open, after this it should again show signature warning but this time installer will start.

Best Regards

Thanks for your answer, but installation was not a problem (with the method you described). I cannot get the app running and on my windows 8.1 machine it crashes, when I click on 'show z-code' so I want to try it on my Mac. 

When I click on the icon on OS X nothing happens neither a jumping one in the dock.
