Any update on this? We have an existing server running Server 2012 R2 and we must install PlanetPress immediately. We can wait another week for Server 2012 support but not another month.

Hi BWW,

As Philippe said, version 7.6 will be out soon and will include support for Windows 8 and Windows 2012. We don't have the exact release date, however, so for now, we must be patient, and wait till 7.6 is released.

If you REALLY need to install PlanetPress on the 2012 server right now, feel free to try it. Most of the functionalities actually works fine, the only thing I've seen that's not working is the HTTP Server Input. I personally have it installed on Windows 8, and so far, almost everything works just fine, besides HTTP Server Input. So if your processes don't use that, feel free to try the current version. Just remember that 7.5.3 doesn't officially support Windows 8 and Windows 2012, and you might not be able to get support for unexpected issues you might encounter.

Regards,
Raphaël Lalonde Lefebvre

Hello,

An update to this post: PlanetPress 7.6 has been released, and can be downloaded by doing a "Check for Updates", or simply downloading the installer from our web site:

http://planetpress.objectiflune.com/en/resources/support

Under "Software Download".

As per the release notes, Windows 8.1 and 2012 R2 are now supported. However, there's two notes:

Note 3: *** While Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2 are supported, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 are not.
Note 4: *** Capturing print jobs may not work properly if the job was printed through a Metro-style application. This is due to the changes in the printing architecture starting with Windows 8/2012. These jobs files are stored in the spooler in XPS format. A future improvement will include an XPS to PDF conversion to allow these jobs to be captured and processed as well.

Full release notes here:

Raphaël Lalonde Lefebvre
