Version of Internet Explorer and OS in which the vision setup operation test was done is different in each robot software version. Please refer to [Vision Simulation/Restrictions] section of ROBOGUIDE online munual for detail. Other: Virtual PC, VMware and similar software are not supported. Windows XP Mode of Windows 7 is not supported. Remote desktop is not supported. Windows RT is not supported. Comma decimal separator is not supported. Screen should be 96DPI. You cannot use Guest account for ROBOGUIDE. *Touch panel operation on Windows 8 is not supported.

Installing ROBOGUIDE on Windows 8: A prerequisite for the installation of ROBOGUIDE is the .NET 3.5 framework. The framework is considered to be a Windows feature in Windows 8, and therefore installed by the operating system. When running the ROBOGUIDE installer on Windows 8*, the operating system will interrupt the installer when the .NET 3.5 framework is being processed and prompt the user to obtain the files over the Internet, or via the installation disk. If you have an Internet connection, select "Install this Feature" and proceed with the installation. The ROBOGUIDE setup may need to be restarted after the installation of the .NET 3.5 framework. If you do not have an Internet connection, select "Skip this Installation". To install the .NET 3.5 framework with the Windows 8 disk, go to the Windows start screen and right click on any open space, selecting "All apps" on the menu at the bottom of the screen. On the Apps screen find the "Windows System" group and right click on "Command Prompt". Select "Run as administrator". In the command prompt window, type in the following: DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs

where "d" is the DVD drive that contains the Windows 8 disk When the installation of the .NET 3.5 framework is complete, close the command prompt window and restart the ROBOGUIDE setup to complete the ROBOGUIDE installation. Note: Touch Panel operation on Windows 8 is not supported. If the ROBOGUIDE installer fails immediately on Windows 8, please install the .NET 3.5 framework prior to running the installer.
