AVR studio on Win95 OSR2?

Jul 18, 2004 3 Replies

Has anyone successfully installed AVR Studio on Windows 95? The installer complains about corrupted files (which I don't believe - I think it's trying to dynaload a DLL that is either missing or doesn't have the right exports).



I know this sounds weird in the 21st century, but I have a Libretto



70CT that is _really_ handy for doing things in the field (it's a P-120 laptop the size of a VHS tape). It happens to run best with Win95; 98's power management doesn't work so well.

Since I failed to install AVRGCC on my notebook with Win98, I wouldn't surprise that one cannot install AvrStudio on Win95.

AVRGCC is different from AVR Studio. AVR Studio 4.09 installs and works just fine under Windows 98. Well, except for that bug I reported for 4.07 that they still haven't fixed. :-)

Unrelated, though. AVR Studio works perfectly under Win98, up to and including the latest beta versions. I do not want to upgrade this laptop to 98, though. Tried it, and it is not ideal.

(It's interesting to go back in time like this and use Win95. I had forgotten how much more responsive and small-footprint Windows was before Microsoft stuck that goddamn Active Desktop in there).
