Quickload from Disc isn't installing on Win 10! Suggestions ?

Hi shooters,

I'm trying to get Quickload 16bit installed on Windows 10 (64bit).
Any hot Tip out there to get it running somehow ?

Thanks.
 
Microsoft recommends running 16 and 32bit applications using virtualization. There are ways you can do it in win10_x64 but just don't. Save yourself some headache: Download virtualbox, find a copy of a Windows XP disk (I think I have a WinXP VM image laying around I could help some folks out with if they asked really nicely). It's EOL so licensing should no longer be an issue.

My professional life includes massive scale virtualization so I have some expertise. You will need several gig of free hard drive space and as much free RAM as it takes to run the app plus about 500mb for the operating system.

If you need help, PM me, I'll send you my digits and we can tinker.
 
I've loaded QL on my Win-10 OS computer with absolutely no problems with the install. In fact, I've done so on three different computers, one being a new high powered I-7 computer and another being an old I-5 laptop. Since I haven't had any problems with Win-10, I don't know what the problem might be. I've had a few decades of a little IT experience, and I know it can be difficult to figure out such glitches. For anyone to help, it helps to have more detailed information about your computer. It's possible there there could be a file in the System Folder that the computer manufacturer has added (not saying that's the case, just that it's a possibility). Using some virtual app as recommended above just might work for you, but there might be a better fix. You might try getting hold of Windows support and see what they might suggest???
