It might work, but it definitely is not supported.

So if it's not supported than I defently will not know for
sure if it's work or not. Do you know if the supported
version 11.5 is compatible with Windows 7.thanks

If it is, it's entirely because of Microsoft's work at backward
compatibility; Sybase stopped work on PB9 years ago.

What might be as much if not more of an issue is whether *your* app is
compatible with Win7. For example, one XP and previous practice is to
write to an INI file or data files that are stored in the same
directory as the program file; that is no longer legal in Vista and
Win7.

Good luck,

Someone from Sybase mentioned that a release "later this year" will
provide Win7 "support". Keep in mind that means that a) they've made
an effort to make it compatible, and b) if you run into problems on
Win7 that they can't reproduce on another platform, support will take
your call (if you have a support contract or buy a support incident).
It doesn't mean that releases before this will *not* work on Win7; I
run 11.5 on Win7 every day with no problems, which doesn't mean *you*
won't do something that will break. It just means you're in a crap
shoot and you're on your own before this release.

Good luck,

Try and see if it works.

I run PB10 ok on 64bit windows 7, just with a UAC prompt when you
start it.
But I can't say I've stress tested it at all.
