Portable Minitab was working fine till last windows 7 update. After the windows 7 update it stopped working. Following message pops up
================================
Spoon studio 2011
Unable to load a a virtual machine Component. Please contact the publisher.
=====================================
Any help to revive Portable Minitab will be appreciated
You would probably be better asking this question in the Spoon Studio forums here...
https://support.spoon.net/customer/p...ions?b_id=3593
... that error is not a Windows one.
Thanks a lot. I will post my question to the forum suggested. I will update you with results soon
I am waiting for a solution from spoon forum. Meanwhile I distinctly remember that only a Windows 7 update made it inoperable. I was running fine. After a Windows 7 update , the PC rebooted and I wanted to continue with my work in Portable Minitab but it did not respond. Also the windows update modified several registry keys while rebooting
Exact same problem. Have you found a way to solve it?
Not yet. Though spoon studio have registered a case, yet a solution has not been delivered.
Thank you,
Searched your thread at Spoon studio forum and followed the advice to uninstall the windows update that caused the problem.. I know it's not a real solution but at least I can keep on working until I recompile the program with a newer version of spoon studio.
Thanks a lot. Would you let me know which Windows 7 update , you have removed so that I can continue working with it. Later when you find a permanent solution you can can let me know the same
