Windows NT Service Pack 4 may cause problems for Xilinx Software


Record #4931

Problem Title:
Windows NT Service Pack 4 may cause problems for Xilinx Software


Problem Description:
Urgency: Hot

General Description:
It has been noted that when customers install Windows NT Service Pack 4 on their machine the Xilinx M1 software versions 1.4 and 1.5 may stop working. Common symptoms are NGDBUILD (Translate) errors or merely crashing when one tries to open a file. This appears to be restricted to machines with In ternet Explorer 4 and NT Service Pack 4. This is not a regular problem and may not happen on every machine with this configuration.


Solution 1:

Since Window NT Service Pack 4 was released after M1 versions 1.4 and 1.5, we could not test our sof tware with this operating system environment. Therefore, these versions of M1 do not support Servic e Pack 4; Service Pack 3 is an acceptable tested environment.

The next full release of Xilinx M1 software (v2.1i) will support Windows NT Service Pack 4.
