Windows Posready 7 Iso
Gifford Brickley
Hi,
just wondering, does sambaPOS works on Windows embedded POS ready 2009, I just try to install sambaPOS, I am getting into a loop .
it showing system need restart to finish the setup, and system restart then again start installation from the beginning.
any tips please?
The last version of SambaPOS that will run on Windows XP (and POSReady 2009) is V3, however you will be missing out on a lot of great new features that have been released since, plus most people on the forum are using V4+ so there will be less community support available to you.
Further to this discussion I am wondering if there is any other solution to the ones offered. I have V5 installed on one register and I want to expand the system and utilize an existing POS with Windows Embedded POS ready 2009. I have no idea how to work around this
POSReady 2009 (XP version) was a lot better for general software compatibility (e.g. user can install MS Office). However I have found POSReady 7 some normal software like MS Office will not install, I never researched further about this but found out from client feedback. I never had any problem with installing software needed for using as a POS. Also, because the system builder is put in control of what windows components are available, end user cannot access windows components from Add/Remove software. This is good for a support angle, but not ideal for end user who is IT proficient. You can get around this but you need to install windows components via command line.
EDIT: Actually I just found this article that says POSReady 2009 still gets updates to April 2019. I was sure that the system I tested before was not getting updates from Windows Update but maybe it was not related to this. Anyway, irrelevant to this original post but still interesting to know.
