According to the message log shown at Sierra's startup the support for v1808 is going to be discontinued on the last day of April. Can you please extend the support for this version for a few more weeks. I am running highly customized version of Windows XP (trimmed down with nLite, with all updates until May of 2019) and just didn't have time to complete the work on the similar customized version of Windows 7 (it's already installed on another partition but needs some fine tuning). SC v1808 is the last version which works with XP, and it also happens to work ok with IB TWS v978. I only need charting functionality which still runs just fine in v1808. I have learnt over the years that the best course of action to deal with all the bloat of a Windows OS is to either use an embedded variant or to use a stock version and then remove all unnecessary components and services (.Net, indexing service, Movie Maker, etc.) from the installation ISO file with a third party tool like nLite (for XP) or NTLite (for Win7, 8, 8.1 and 10). I use Linux for everyday tasks and Windows only on a dedicated trading machine. Thanks. |
