Billiam Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I have been running the XP version of Composer HE under a Window emulation program on a Mac (VMware Fusion.) Works okay but is slow to load and is a mess to use.) If I upgrade to a higher version of Windows (say 8 or 8.1 under the emulator) will Composer HE still work? I couldn't find any mention of what version of windows is required to run Composer and being a Mac guy I don't know if more recent versions of windows run older XP programs. Would LOVE a Mac version of Composer HE. There are many, many people out there with Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 There is no 'XP version of HE' - XP is the minimum requirement for Composer, but it works on all releases since - I use it on 8.1 daily. And there are no, no Macs out there that run .NET framework in a way that is needed for Composer (beyond the obvious emulation of Windows). Until the program is completely redone from scratch don't expect to see it come out - hey maybe by the time we hit 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecodeman Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I use windows 8.1 and composer pro on parallels every day just fine. Pro is the same code base as HE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prabeau Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Xp with Parallels works great, loads quickly and is flawless. p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
