Does Robohelp 7 works with Windows 7?

[Guest]

I'm using Robohelp 7 on Win XP and need to upgrade to windows 7 - will the robohelp work as always?

I tried it on a virtual PC with win 7 and it seems to be ok but I'm not sure. Has anyone tried it?

I am 99% sure that only RoboHelp 8 supports Windows 7 and only the 32 bit version at that.

Colum, hope you don't mind if I rephrase that.

Adobe supports RH8 on Windows 7 32 bit.

That does not mean RH8 will not work on Windows 7 64 bit, just that it is not officially supported. It's the same with RoboHelp 7. It may work but it is not officially supported.

Hi all

I've been using RoboHelp 8 without issue on Windows 7 64 bit for a few months now.

For RoboHelp 7 I had to install the Microsoft Virtual Machine and run the Windows XP Mode. This provides a full working 32 bit Windows XP to use from inside Windows 7.

Cheers... Rick
