eCo software runtime packages
« on: December 13, 2024, 11:30:26 am »
Hi all, just read the Arca NOAE announcement about it.
https://www.arcanoae.com/resources/downloadables/eco-runtime/
Said that I have both ArcaOS 5.0 and OS2 4.52 guest installed in Virtualbox Windows11 and personalized as per my needs (Guest Additions, Dooble QT5, VLC, AVXCat, Lucide, OpenJDK, Openoffice exc....) do you think is recommandable to install those runtimes without causing any conflict on what already installed/configured?
Thank you

Hello Mauro

I think you will get two answers:

1) I have installed those in ArcaOS 5.1 and I didn't have any kind of problems. I dont' have a Warp 4.52 or ArcaOS 5.0 at hand to try those, but my guess is that there is no problem.

2) The second answer you may get is if you really require those libraries. Do you have any application that uses those library?  Some may way say it is not necessary to update if everything is working fine.

Check the changelog, in my case, since it fixed some FOC (File Open Close window) memory leaks (Win Package), I think it is worthy to give it a try, specially in ArcaOS that uses it.

The decision is up to you. Take a backup/snapshot of the VMs.

Regards

thank you Martin.  in those guest machines everything seems to work as expected, unless in Winos2 it does not allow to install any Win software beacuse it claims "not enough memory - disk full".  The advice is in a Windows 3.11 frame
