METTRACK/METCAL Windows 10

To all;

My company is moving to Windows 10 and I have a new laptop, with Windows 10, that I am trying to load METTRACK 8.3 onto and I am running into problems. I did not have any issues loading but after configuring ODBC to connect to Calibration Data and launching MetTrack, I get a Fatal Connection message saying it is unable to connect to database "Calibration Data" after I put in my user name and password. It wants the correct database engine started. I tried to mimic the older system to the best of my ability. If anyone can help any any way, that would be awesome. For the Fluke support team: If my version is not the right one, I need to know the correct version without going into MetTeam - my management will not approve that version. Many thanks to all.

Sounds like you'll have to dig into the Metcal.ini file and ensure it's pointing to the right directory paths. I am still using Met/Cal and Met/Track 7.3 on Windows 10 and it works fine.

Doug wrote a great paper on how to do it

I had the same problem. Contacted Fluke support. Met/Track will not run in Windows 10 according to them.

Officially, no. But I have had Met/Track running in Windows 10 without issue. So it can be done. They just probably won’t support that environment.
