PC version of Runtime

[Conga]

Hi,

I've made a runtime on Mac, and made it work on Windows XP. Is there any certainty that it will work on Vista and Windows 7, or do I really have to make a version for every OS ?

Thanks,

I make my runtimes using FileMaker running under Windows XP Pro. Then I test the result on all of the Windows versions I have available (XP, Vista, Windows 7).

Similarly I create my runtime on one Mac OS version and test on all of the others.

I don't think it matters which operating system you run when you create your runtime. FileMaker Advanced should create the same code regardless of Windows platform.

My multi-platform testing is to ensure that things such as fonts, layout formatting, web viewer plug-ins, exotic exports, Send Event script steps, Send DDE Execute, Do AppleScript and so on show no surprises with Microsoft's (or Apple's) many changes with each OS. The basic FileMaker stuff should be fine.
