  • Windows XP delivers an implementation of OpenGL libraries. Dassault Systemes provides recommendations related to driver levels on certified configurations.
    These drivers may offer a CATIA Version 5 application setting (see Control Panel, Display Properties tabs), which should be selected when available, as they may contain application specific features.
  • Localized version of the operating system may be required when selected installation locale differs from Latin1

Additional Considerations

IP V6 Inactivation

Starting with Windows Vista, IPv6 is installed and activated by default whereas a dual IPv4/IPv6 layer is provided. V5 Client/Server communication does not support IPv6 in V5R19, it is thus recommended to inactivate IPv6 to go back to IPv4
To inactivate IPv6 please refers to the following Microsoft Technet article:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/cba5a7ac-742a-49a6-8212-3844c768a0f81033.mspx?mfr=true
Sections :
To Uninstall IPv6 Using the Network Connections Folder
Or
To Uninstall IPv6 from a Computer from the Command Prompt
Note that this operation requires Administrative credentials

 

Known DS Product Limitation

MS Known issue: partial encryption of vbscript does not work :
    Windows scrrun.dll bug : Tag for partial encoding (**Start Encode**) has no effect on Vista RTM, when used, all the script is encoded.
This bug is fixed in Windows Vista SP1.

Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit

Note on Microsoft Windows 64-bit Support

Note that for ENOVIA 3d com Classic and ENOVIA V5 VPM, the support of Windows 64-bit is effective only on client side, not on server side.

 

Operating System

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP2
  • Windows XP Professional x64 Edition delivers an implementation of OpenGL libraries. Dassault Systemes will provide recommendations related to driver levels based on certified configurations at URL: http://www.3ds.com/implementation/technology/windows/certified-workstations-list/.
    These drivers may offer a CATIA Version 5 application setting (see Control Panel, Display Properties tabs), which should be selected when available, as they may contain application specific features.

 

Installation of 32-bit V5 applications

  • Although those Version 5 products are 32-bit applications, they will be able to allocate up to 4GB of Memory when running on this operating system.

For CATIA, DELMIA and ENOVIA DMU only: Installation of 64-bit V5 applications

  • Note: for a 64-bit process, memory consumption is completely different than for a 32-bit process. In this conditions, it is not pertinent to compare the  « Virtual Bytes »  counter of Perfmon between 32-bit process and 64-bit process. Although this counter is important to track for a 32-bit process because the global address space is limited to 4 GB including reserved virtual memory, for 64-bit process, virtual address space can reach 8 TB.

  • Known issue: When Japanese locales are used, console output will be corrupted at first Japanese character display, the "cout << " does not print any character after. This is a Microsoft CRT 8.0 bug and should be fixed by Microsoft.
