Starwind iscsi target (free edition) install problem

[samu76]

hi,
i am sorry for my bad english, but i hope that you will understand me, and help me

I installed starwind on an xp home edition (sp3) (real pc) but the starwindservice got me the problem that isn't a win32 valid application

so I installed xp prof sp3 in a virtual machine (vmvare player), but i got the same error.

In the specificatione to where install starwind, it was write "any modern windows".... i was looking for a solution in internet, but i didn't find nothing

Can you help me?

Thank you

Samu

I guess you're trying to install 64-bit StarWind on top of 32-bit OS. Use 32-bit StarWind in such a case or replace your OS with 64-bit one.

thank you for the reply

the o.s. are both 32 bit
and the starwind i think is 32 bit (the link to download application is same for 32 and 64 bit... in the manual "getting started" is wrote: The setup file is unified for x86 and x64 so you do not need to worry about the platform compatibility.)

Or i can "force" the starwind application in win32 modality?

You can install only Management Console on XP. Installing service itself is not supported. Vista or Windows 7 is required. Or any server OS starting from Windows 2003 Server R2.

Ok thank you

I don't understand how i can create a host (on the windows xp iscsi target without service)

edit:

ok ok i will install a windows seven... but you have to delete the words "any modern windows" in the manual

Windows XP is not modern desktop OS. We would update the page telling XP could be used for Management Console however. To avoid confusion.
