ObjectAda on Windows Vista?

ObjectAda on Windows Vista?

[Brian Bell]

After surviving two hard drive transplants my trusty (7-yr old) Windows 
2000 Pro machine recently died, and its replacement came preloaded with 
Windows Vista. I downloaded ObjectAda v8.2 Special Edition (was running 
v7.2 previously with good results) but have thus far been unable to get 
the newer compiler to start up under Vista.

Is there some trick to making this combination work? I don't need all 
the GUI and DB add-ins, just support for a basic console-mode program 
(combinatoric search for pool league schedule optimizer). Or is my only 
no-cost option to convert to GNAT GPL 2007 and GPS?

Thanks for any help and greetings from sunny Michigan!

Well, another no-cost option is to switch to GNU/Linux.

I can confirm that ObjectAda 8.2 for Windows runs fine on W2K
running on a Parallels Virtual Machine running on Ubuntu 7.04 :-)

The recent announcement of ObjectAda for Windows 8.4 included
the words "Vista", ".NET" and "VS 2005". <speculation>Several
users of flexlm have reported that their license manager wouldn't
let them use their Windows products on Windows Vista...</speculation>
