E-run 2.0.8.x files in E-run 2.0.10.353

[Becca Hayes]

Hi all,

I have a request in to the PST support people, but I wanted to see if anyone here has found a solution:

Our lab has some .ebs2 files that were created in an earlier version of e-prime (2.0.8.79).  We just updated all of our computers to run version 2.0.10.353, and now these e-run files won't open.  The e-run resolver lists our version of e-run as being "too new" to run the files, and they terminate with an error message when we try to run them anyway.

Do any of you know any options for either updating these files or running them on our computer as-is, other than tracking down the original .es2 files (which were generated outside our lab and are proving to be elusive) and using e-studio to update them?

Becca,

As PST Support will no doubt tell you, you can still download and
install the EP2.0.8.90 *runtime* files. Install that, and next time the
E-Run resolver should recognize your older .ebs2 files and run them
using the older runtime version. I just can't remember where this is
documented offhand (responding during my day off at home).

Aha, you can find this documented at
