Running the toolkit on Windows 10

Running the toolkit on Windows 10 will cause an error.
Add _USING_V100_SDK71_ to the preprocessor to avoid errors.
I have to develop with VS2008 for some reason.
Some of our important customers are using WF 5.0.
Sometimes they can use WF5.0 on Windows10.
However, adding _USING_V100_SDK71_ to VS2008's preprocessor will not run the toolkit on Windows 10.
If you refer to the Creo 3.0 library and the WF5.0 header in VS2012, the Toolkit will not run in WF5.0 because it is a Creo 3.0.
How do I use the toolkit I build with VS2008 on Windows 10?

I dont think WF 5.0 is supported on Windows 10. Check with PTC about this.

 

If WF 5.0 is not supported on  Windows 10 then you can suggest your customer to not use it.

The customer is using WF5.0 on Windows 10.
We also developed a toolkit for Windows 7.
The toolkit does not run on Windows 10.
But Windows 7 will run the toolkit.

Official PTC site says that Windows 10 will not run WF5.0.
But it will run ..

If PTC is saying WF5.0 is nmot supported in Windows 10 then how can toolkit library work ?

Somehow it may be working but it may fail with some other functionality.

 

Better if you suggest your customer to not use WF5.0 on Windows 10.
