Microsoft's Windows Vista
 

The next release (3.15) in the life cycle for The Compounder will be compatible with Windows Vista following Vista's production release which was scheduled for the first quarter of 2007.  We expect our software to support Vista by the end of the second quarter of 2007.

PK Software does not recommend that PC owners install Vista just yet.   Within the next few weeks, PK Software plans to release a new version of The Compounder software that was designed primarily to address the Vista compatibility issues.
Current versions of the software should NOT be installed on the Microsoft Vista operating system.

  • Added support for the User Account Control (UAC)
  • Added support for the Restart Manager
  • Added support for Log File Operations
  • Added support for Vista Standard User Installations

VISTA Readiness Statement:

    Windows Vista support in The Compounder product includes but is not limited to PK Software, Inc.'s product readiness for Windows Vista, which is based on a pre-production release (build 5600) and may be considered "forward-looking."
    Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements.  Such risks include potential changes to Windows Installer 4.0 or the core operating system (Microsoft Windows Vista). 
    These risks should be taken into account when purchasing any software.  We therefore cannot provide any assurance that such forward-looking statements will materialize according to their current form. However, PK Software, Inc. is dedicated to supporting Microsoft Windows Vista with The Compounder.

All versions prior to 3.15:
    The Compounder version 3.14 and less have not been fully tested on the Windows Vista operating system since Windows Vista have not been released and The Compounder software has been out for a few years.
    The Compounder version 1.x, The Compounder version 2.x, and The Compounder DOS versions will not be tested on Windows Vista.
