Cache Studio for Windows 11

#Caché

Has anyone tried loading Cache 2017 on Windows 11?

I'm working with my corporate IT department to get a version published that will work on Windows 11 desktops but I have to prove that it can be loaded before they will give me the rights to install it.

It looks like Cache 2018 is supported but we're still supporting a bunch of 2017 installations until we can begin the move to IRIS.

Meanwhile the new laptops are all being issued with Windows 11 and the installers are all blocked by corporate.

To get past the block I have to submit an exception, but I can't test the install until the exception goes through.

Product version: Caché 2017.1

Do you need a local installation of the database itself on these machines or just the client tools (system tray launcher, Studio, terminal, etc.). If the latter, you can install the latest version of the client kit rather than 2017. The tools are backwards compatible to at least 2015, and likely earlier.

As per Jeffrey latest ISC studio should work fine. Also it might be the time to start the discussion for the move from Cache2017 to IRIS. With IRIS you will also get other IDE options like VSCode.

VSCode is an option for any Caché 2016.2+ too

Thanks, I'll check out the 2018 kit.

IRIS is coming but we'll still need a Cache cube until the last of the customers have been upgraded which will be a while yet.

There's really no functional difference for your purpose between a Caché cube and an IRIS cube. Configure your Caché hosts in the ServerManager app just as you would with a Caché 2017 cube tray icon. The only difference is the logo 😉
