SimonCygnetIT Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Hi all Does anyone know please if SIMS and FMS works on Windows 10 and if so is it supported by Capita? Simon
PhilNeal Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 We haven't tested W10 yet and cannot guarantee that it will work everywhere.
Jamman960 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Sims .net has worked well on win 10 beta for me, from memory support starts in a couple of releases time according to the tech roadmap Edit: support starts spring 2016 for 64bit w10 Edited August 4, 2015 by Jamman960
FN-GM Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 There is a difference between working and support. It appears SIMS does work with Windows 10, however it is not supported.
ass17 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 The main sims app may work fine being built on .net framework but what about nova T6?
DJ-1701 Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Just to mention, I noticed a possible FMS installation issue with Solus 3 on Windows 10 Education x64. When BDE tries to install the installer will hang and not complete. The only way I have found around this so far is running the extracted BDE installer manually from the relevant directory in C:\ProgramData\Capita\Solus3\Deployments\Packages. After which terminating the other installers continues on with the regular Solus 3 installation process for FMS. 2

Weirdly it seems fine on 10 Pro x64 but Education x64 seems to have issues. Was having issues on my machine until this morning when suddenly the S3 agent popped up saying it was installing FMS and it worked!?

Likewise for us, SOLUS3 hangs when trying to install the BDE component of FMS onto a Windows 10 device and just locks up completely! The school affected are also running Windows 10 Education edition. We are using the new SOULS 3.10.88.4 version which is meant to be Windows 10 compatible. Edited April 21, 2016 by Bubbles
Chrish5 Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Solus 3 won't deploy to Win 10 Education 64 bit for me. I haven't really looked into it yet (this was my first port of call to see if it was possible).

Strange, Solus 3 installed fine here on Windows 10 Education x64, the only issue I had was with FMS and the BDE component as mentioned above.
sparkeh Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Strange, Solus 3 installed fine here on Windows 10 Education x64, the only issue I had was with FMS and the BDE component as mentioned above. Same here. Is this issue still present after the Spring Update?
DJ-1701 Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Same here. Is this issue still present after the Spring Update? I haven't needed to do any fresh installs of FMS since then, so not sure, but I would assume the issue is still present.

Chrish5 Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Installed Solus manually on the workstation and all went fine (despite Solus crashing and needing to be restarted but that's a regular thing for us). So it's just the installing from the server which is probably a local permissions thing I need to worry about. I don't need to worry about FMS on Win10 yet, so when I do hopefully any issues will have been sorted. Edited May 12, 2016 by Chrish5
superfletch Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Same here. Is this issue still present after the Spring Update? Yep, it's still there. 2
Barcrest Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 FMS and Options have been a pain for me since we left XP. They use a global sims path which doesn't work if you have a mixture of 32bit and 64bit installs of windows because of the program files vs program files x86 issue. We now have everyone on 64bit windows finally but it is something to consider.

richbrowncardiff Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Anyone had any joy with FMS installing now Stuck on BDE for me even with the latest release.
Bubbles Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Anyone had any joy with FMS installing now Stuck on BDE for me even with the latest release. It's still broken. Capita's "work around" is to extract the BDE installer from the SOLUS 3 UI and then install it manually onto any workstations that will have the FMS client installed. It is apparently being worked on by the devs so I presume it will be addressed in a future release of SOLUS 3. God knows when that will be though as it's currently a major PITA, and will be more so when schools start re-imaging devices over Summer. Edited June 9, 2016 by Bubbles 2
Nickfinn Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Dear All Bubbles is correct the current solution is an intermediate fix until the dev teams have developed and tested a fix to this issue. I apologise for the inconvenience this has caused. Kind regards Nick 1
toffee_paul Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Has the FMS / W10 Edu 64 issue been fixed now?
