Vault 2015 does not support Windows 7 Ultimate !!!

[karthur1]

I have been using Vault server on a Windows 7 Ultimate system.  I just noticed in the 2015 Vault requirements that Win7 Ultimate is not listed there.  I was hoping this was an oversight, but when I tried to install it on this system, it gives me an error that says the OS is not supported.

Windows 7 Ultimate was a supported OS for Vault 2011 thru 2014.  I don't understand why the "Ultimate" version is no longer supported in Vault 2015. Windows 7 Ultimate has all the features of Windows 7 Professional and Enterprise, that are supported.

Is there a possible work around for this without me having to put a new OS on this system?  Its not a trivial thing to change the OS.

Thanks,

Kirk

Hello Kirk,

Please install Windows 7 SP1 on your system. That should resolve the error and allow you to install the 2015 Vault Server on the system.

Although the Win 7 SP may help you install, Vault Workgroup and Professional are no longer supported on workstation operating systems.
