Railpro Assistant V 2.0
William Brillinger:
That's pretty common for these kind of upgrades. I wish the feature enable was simply tied to the account and was automatically re-enabled when you log in again.
You'll have to contact Ring Engineering to get them to put the Feature Enable back in your account so you can re-download it to your RPA & HC again.

All,
I spent some time on this today. I've solved the problem with running RailPro Assistant 2.02 on WinXP (as I suspected it doesn't actually need Vista or greater). If Bill gives the ok I will upload the patched file to the forum. If Bill says no anyone who want's it can request it directly by PM'ing me. I could possibly create a patch that anyone could run themselves but that would probably take more time than I'd be willing to spend on it.
It's definitely a use at your own risk proposition. I tested it and it works fine downloading files from Ring and into the HC for me. Your mileage could vary. There are no changes to the software's actual code, just the part that tells the OS what versions of Windows it can run on. If RE had spent a few seconds changing that in Visual Studio before compiling it'd have been WinXP compatible in the first place.
I do not know if the CI-1 software can be made to run on XP or not, I don't have it yet.

My little netbook is the perfect size to use by the layout. Tim, if you can get the new software to run in XP that would be awesome.

I've uploaded the WinXP patched version of RailPro Assistant 2.02 to the RailPro Software Archive in the files section. You still need to install first by installing from Ring Engineering's website as usual. Basic instructions are provided with the patched file. No changes other than allowing the file to run on WinXP have been made to the patched software.

Al, I'll know more when I have the CI-1 and it's software but I imagine it'll do doable.
