Installation and Licensing

[varunchataraju]

I had tried installing all the versions of Xilinx ISE as administrator on my windows8 release preview system .

I have Run this program in compatibility mode for  Windows 7 operating system,Windows8 supports compatibility mode of windows7,the same is working on XP and Win7.

error shown: setup.exe has stopped working.
                         windows will find it out soon

I have consulted Microsoft reg the same, they suggested to contact Xilinx.

is'nt xilinx compatible for windows8 RP?

The latest Operating system support is listed here:

http://www.xilinx.com/ise/ossupport/index.htm

Xilinx generally supports mature releases of Windows, so it is not surprising that

a "preview" release of Windows 8 is not supported.

I got version 14.2 installed on windows 8 but facing a lot of problems with it.

ISim is not working a all.

64bit mode of ISE crash at startup

32 mode seems to work

Same here. 14.2 64-bit crashes at file management, and 32-bit at iSim on win8. Anyone got a solution for win8? Any working version?

Hi

Did you fix your problem. Even Managae xilinx license does not work. It closes when I click the "copy license.."  in Managae license file tab. I am not able to copy the license file. Is there any manual way to do it.

Hi,

Here we are also very interested by this topic because since we have moved to windows 8, it is not possible to work with Xilinx tools! Please help.

> since we have moved to windows 8, it is not possible to work with Xilinx tools!

Then move back to Window 7!

[rafaelcatrou]

Indeed we resort to a dual boot windows 7 & 8 for now. Hope Xilinx understand that it is short-term solution.

Sorry, i´m from Spain and my English is not so well, but I have the same problem and I think that the following solve is correct: (my ISE version is 12.3)

-you must go to bin/nt/xsetup

-accept/accept/ISE Webpacklicense/install

Perdon, dejame ver si entendi, quieres decir que para que el ISE se instale correctamente en windows 8 ¿seguimos tus pasos?
