MIMIC 3.1.7 not working with Windows 10

Post by MOBMAT »

I'm getting an error when I attempt to run any of the Mimic 3.17 versions on my windows 10 machine.

Windows throws an dialog that says, "This app cannot run on your PC"

any ideas? Do the .EXEs need to be set to some compatibility mode?

I found the binaries here...

older (2.4.3) version of Mimic works just fine.

This happened to me with the previous version, 3.17 on the other hand I will drop. (?)

Most likely you are using the wrong exe for your CPU.

Can it be that your windows 10 is a 32 bits version ?

What older built were you using ? was that "minic_2.43_mingw_x32_i686.exe " or a 64bits one ?
