Downloading Latest DCS Loader

Try the type with .net or try the 32 bit type

Phil,

I got a MAC computer and understand it can not run DCS loading software.

If your Mac has an Intel-based processor (standard on M<acs built within the last 5-6 years or so), it definitely can run Windows and the DCS Loader program.

 

You would need to run one of the following on the Mac: Boot Camp (free from Apple), Parallels or VM FusionWare. You would then run Windows under whichever one of the three programs you selected.

 

I do this all the time using a both an iMac and a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7 Lion, with Parallels and Windows XP.

  

This and a whole lot more is all in "The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition", now available for purchase as an eBook or a printed book from MTH's web store site! Click on the link below to go to MTH's web page for the book!

Barry:  At this point I would like to figure out how to do this on the Laptop.  I do not have any other Windows programs to run on the MAC so do not want to invest in Windows software for the MAC.  Tomas:  I tried all three software versions and I keep getting the same message about not having the right signed certificate to do the download.  Phil

Windows XP is no longer retail.

 

There is open source free software you might be able to find to run it. Sourceforge comes to mind.

 

All you are really need to do is run a software in your mac to create a "Virtual" computer to run windows in. As long you have a good machine, there is no problem.

 

You might also want to look into Knoppix via Linux Red Hat. I just dated myself by at least ten years with this. Wine would be the program to run within Linux to run windows type software.

 

Computers have collasped in pricing, you can usually find a cheap XP machine for about a hundred dollars, key and all.

 

I run windows 7 myself, however do keep a old computer running XP to run software dating back to the mid nineties.

Phil,

 I tried all three software versions and I keep getting the same message about not having the right signed certificate to do the download.

Ignore the warning message. It's an aberration that should go away next month when MTH's new website comes on line.

 

If you're using a browser that's too dumb to allow you to ignore the warning (Internet Explorer comes to mind), use a more intelligent browser. Mozilla's FireFox (free download)  should do the job for you.

Hi Phil,

 

Download the .Net frame work here.

Install the framework and then install the MTH Loader, which I just e-mailed to you.

Dave:  I tried to download this program to the Windows Vista Laptop and get "set up error"   It seems to download ok but this is the final message given.  I tried it several times.   Phil
