Irvine, Calif. –, a unit of the (ISS) group of Invensys plc, announced January 25 that the company’s flagship product, InTouch, now fully supports the Professional version of Microsoft’s new Windows XP desktop operating system. InTouch version 7.11 patch 01was released in December 2001 and allows the user to take advantage of the advanced features in Windows XP Professional. According to the company, Wonderware is the first HMI software company in the industrial automation market to do so. ‘In keeping with Wonderware’s legacy of offering leading edge technology to our customers, we have shifted our clients to the latest Microsoft operating system as quickly as possible,’ said Tim Sowell, vice president of product marketing for Wonderware. ‘Wonderware pioneered the use of Windows in industrial automation in 1989 and the company’s strategy has always been to keep pace with Microsoft technology.
Within 50 days of Windows XP’s release, Wonderware’s InTouch and ActiveFactory products were enabled to support the new operating system.’ InTouch provides the visualization for a plant-centric, operator-centric manufacturing information system, where information is shared within and between plants. InTouch is in use in more than 180,000 installations around the world in a multitude of vertical markets including food processing, oil and gas, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, transportation, and utilities. Released on Oct.
25, 2001, Windows XP Professional is the fastest Windows operating system to date. It features distributed computing, standards-based security, manageability, and reliability. Built on the code base of Windows NT and Windows 2000, the new desktop operating system also has a simplified user interface and innovative support services. ‘Support for the new Windows XP operating system allows Wonderware customers to take advantage of the latest capabilities provided by Microsoft on the most stable and best performing Windows operating system,’ said Steve Lewarne, director of product marketing for Wonderware.
‘In addition to the current support for Windows XP, Wonderware’s continuing commitment will be demonstrated through the support of the new operating system on future releases of Wonderware products. ‘Additionally, Wonderware’s support for Windows XP will help speed the acceptance of the new operating system in the industrial automation market, in turn encouraging others to add support for the operating system to their products. This ultimately gives customers improved options, both in terms of quantity and quality,’ he said.
Please call your Wonderware distributor for this kind of stuff. Unless, of course, you are using an unlicensed version of InTouch, in which case you should pay for it, and then call for help.
I have wondered for years why people ask specific tech support questions in a forum like this, rather than go bother the vendor. The vendor knows the product better than we do, has been paid to help you, and has the time and the desire to help you. Can anybody explain this behavior to me?

Pierce Rd #301 Itasca, IL 60143 +1-630-467-1301 x 368 [email protected]. Yes Walt, I can explain this.
In general it's often much faster and far less painful to get just what you need from someone who knows. Enduring the bad muzak or propaganda on hold and having to jump through hoops and provide details that can't possibly be relevant and perhaps even dump and reload the program a few times to satisfy the lower echelons and get to someone who might actually have a clue about your problems is something most people find unpleasant in the middle of their development. After a few of these episodes, most will seek any time and cost efficient alternative. On that particular problem, it sounds like the vendor may be the only hope, but it doesn't hurt to ask around first. And it's real discouraging when you simply hit a wall and they tell you they'll get back to you.
I submit that it is the current state of application support that causes that behavior. Especially in my case. Hi ya, The problem you have is that if an Intouch 7.1 application has been developed on Win 2000 then it can only run on Win 2000. Also if you develop on XP it will only run on XP. I found that the only way to run a Intouch application on XP after it was developed on Win2000 is to do the following in Windowmaker(you will need a development license): 1.create a new application on an XP machine 2.
Import all the windows and scripts from the old intouch application. 3.Then export the tag database from the old application and import this into your new app. 4.Go through each window and script and convert the tags to local. There is a Windows 2000 compatiblity tool in XP which is supposed to allow you to run programs designed for a Win 2000 machine but I was never able to run old Intouch Applications using this. Got the same problem. Thus i check out thw wonderware webpage. Below are OS for intouch 7.0 only.
