info Select 2007: Regression

I've been a user of Info Select since it was called Tornado Notes. A few years ago I switched from Windows to Linux, and I used Wine to bring Info Select 2007 along with me. It was great to be running Linux yet have all my Info Select data available at the click of a mouse.

I've just installed 64-bit Linux Mint 9 onto my 905e Phenom II X4 computer. Now I can't get Info Select 2007 to work. I've tried three versions of Wine (1.2.1, 1.3.5 and 1.1.42) and the current Crossover. None of them work. The installation goes fine, but the icon does not invoke the program.

I am currently running Info Select on my 32 bit laptop, with Fedora 11 and Wine 1.1.32 and it works adequately.

If anyone has any information as to when, or if, or how, Info Select will be supported in the future, it would be great if you would post it here.

Hi,

Unfortunately, all the test results I see here in C4 (and over at wineHQ)
are relative to outdated/old versions of wine. Further, although I was prepared
to check the 2007 version for clues, there's no way to do that which I can see
...ie; there's no demo version of is2007 to check with afaict. Stuck between
a rock and a tight space...it may be a wine regression, but I've no way to
properly ascertain that position.. ;-/

Cheers!

Hi Don;

Info Select is sold on a trialware basis. Anyone can download the installation file and put Info Select on their computer. To use it permanently, it is necessary to pay for a registration key.

The installation file for Info Select 2007 is is2007_00_42.exe and it's 9 MB.
You can find it at:

I expect that the trialware functionality would give you the clues needed to find out why it's not working in Wine/Crossover.

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Brian

I have an old copy of Windows 98 Second Edition. I thought I would try to run it in a virtual machine. I installed VMware Player, loaded W98, then installed Info Select 2007. The whole install wasn't easy, but now I have IS working smooth as silk.

I no longer need Crossover Office to run IS on my main machine. Interestingly, it is physically impossible to install VMware Player on my five year old laptop. This is because memory extension hardware must be part of the CPU, and some older CPUs didn't have it.
