C51 V5 Compiler Does Not Run on Windows XP

Alison King

I am trying to run the C51 version 5 compiler on a Windows XP Professional machine. When c51.exe is invoked in a DOS box, the box hangs. I have tried emulating the DOS box as Windows 95, 98, 2000 and XP and the result is always the same.

I do not want to upgrade the compiler to version 7 as this involves re-testing of several products for 6 weeks each.

Does anyone know a way round this problem to allow C51 V5.x to run on a Window XP Professional machine?

    I think Erik's probably right - if you need to stick with the old-version compiler, you'll also have to stick with a compatible OS.

    I stil have a 486-based Win3.1 PC for such occasions... ;-)

    Have you tried a 'Search' - been a XP's been mentioned a few times. Dunno if they'd help.
