Support for Windows 7 for Ported Applications

New Release of MKS Toolkit for Enterprise and Professional Developers

MKS Toolkit 9.2 Patch 3 is a maintenance update for MKS Toolkit 9.2. It includes all fixes provided in MKS Toolkit 9.2 Patch 1 and Patch 2 .

How you apply this patch depends on whether or not you have upgraded to Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 and if you have, whether or not you have upgraded an existing system with MKS Toolkit installed:

  • If you have upgraded an existing system with MKS Toolkit installed to Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, you simply need to apply the patch.
  • If you have performed a fresh installation of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 on a machine, you must install MKS Toolkit 9.2 Patch 3 from a CD (or CD image) and have a valid MKS Toolkit license for that machine. You cannot install MKS Toolkit 9.2 and then apply the patch.
  • If you have not upgraded to Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, you can simply apply the patch to get the problem fixes and new features.

Windows 7 Release Candidate Support

MKS Toolkit 9.2 Patch 3 works specifically with the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 release candidates. Once Microsoft ships a Generally Available version of Windows 7, MKS will support this with a new MKS Toolkit release using standard support practices. The target date for this MKS release is no later than 30 days after Microsoft's official release.

Upgrading Customers

To upgrade your application that you have deployed to your customers to take advantage of the support for Windows 7, you must have your MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers and MKS Toolkit for Professional Developers and all runtime licences under a valid support contract.
