Knitware version 2.50.2 programs were last updated to run on 32-bit
Windows XP systems. As a result, they are now designated as “legacy
applications” for Windows.

Which Windows 7 are you using?

Knitware 2.50 can be installed to run on Windows 7. The technique to be
used depends on which edition of Windows 7 you are using:

  • Windows 7 Ultimate/Professional (32- or 64-bit): Knitware can be
    installed and run in "virtual mode" using 32-bit XP Mode
  • Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit): Knitware can be installed
    directly on the system ("native" mode), but requires subsequent
    installation of the new Borland Database Engine (BDE)
  • Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit): Knitware is first installed on a
    32-bit system (can be XP, Vista, or Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium),
    then moved to the 64-bit system. Then the new BDE is installed.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS are provided in the Knitware Installation Guide
for Windows 7

Additional instructions for installing on a 64-bit Windows 7 system are
provided here.

The new BDE is available on our download page.
Disclaimer – READ BEFORE PROCEEDING

This new procedure assumes a basic understanding of, and comfort level with,
the way that Windows 7 sets up your disk and folders and such, running programs
on Windows 7, navigating to websites, downloading files, and working through
installation procedures. If you are not comfortable with doing all of this, we
encourage you to obtain the assistance of someone who is.

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO TEST KNITWARE BY INSTALLING AND RUNNING THE
