Windows 8 Support

[Former Member]

Hi all,

In the Installation guide of 5.1 SP08, I showed ESP does not support Windows 8. Is ESP studio running on Windows 8 (may be in compability mode)?

SAP Event Stream Processor runs on specific platforms and operating systems.

Platform	Supported OS	Compiler	JDK Version
Windows (32-bit)	Windows 7 (32-bit), SP1	C SDK: MS Visual C++ 2010 Java SDK: JDK 1.6, 1.7 and SAP JVM7 .NET SDK: MSDEV 2010 SP1 (.NET 4.0), MSDEV 2005 (.NET 3.5 SP1)	SAP JVM 7.1.011
Windows (64-bit)	Windows 2008 Server R2 (64-bit), SP1 Windows 7 (64-bit), SP1	C SDK: MS Visual C++ 2010 Java SDK: JDK 1.6, 1.7 and SAP JVM7 .NET SDK: MSDEV 2010 SP1 (.NET 4.0), MSDEV 2005 (.NET 3.5 SP1)	SAP JVM 7.1.011

Thanks.

Hi Bulut,

ESP has not been certified and is not officially supported on Windows 8 or 2012.

ESP won't install directly on 2012, I have not heard of anyone trying Windows 8 yet.  The underlying "InstallAnywhere" installer software that ESP currently uses needs to be updated in order for it to install on Windows 2012 (and I assume Windows 8).

I have heard that you can work around the installation issue by running the installer in Windows 7 compatibility mode but have not tried it myself.

We have two outstanding requests for engineering to certify Windows 8 and 2012:

769312 - Certify ESP on Windows 2012

769505 - Certify ESP on Windows 8

Thanks,

Hi Neal,

Thanks for your response. I have intstalled ESP 5.1 SP08 on Windows 8 in Windows 7 compability mode and run projects on the server successfully. Windows 8 machine is development environment and for now it seems good.

Best regards,

Bulut
