·      One of the following operating systems: 

·      Microsoft® Windows® 10 (32-bit or 64-bit) Professional or Enterprise Edition. 

·      Microsoft® Windows® 8.1 (32-bit or 64-bit), Professional or Enterprise Edition. 

·      Microsoft® Windows® 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), Service Pack 1, Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition.

·      Microsoft® Windows® Server 2019. 

·      Microsoft® Windows® Server 2016. 

·      Microsoft® Windows® Server 2012 R2. 

 

NOTE: Only English Windows IoT, with English regional settings, is supported with English iFIX; other language operating systems or regional settings for Windows IoT are not supported.

 

TIPS: Since Microsoft Windows has continuous updates, you should run the Windows update feature to get the latest Windows software for use with iFIX. Some operating systems require Microsoft KB2999226 to be installed before you can install iFIX. For Windows 7, you must have SP1 installed before you can install KB2999226. For Windows Server 2012 R2, you must have KB2919442 and then KB2919355 installed before installing KB2999226. For Windows 8.1, you just need KB2999226.
