Megger MFT1730 software for Windows 10

[PJH2903]

I have recently got a Megger MFT1730 and wanted to give the Bluetooth download feature a try.
The PowerSuite trial software that came with the tester will not load onto my windows 10 computer and looking online it would appear that the software will only work up to Windows 7.
I have tried emailing Megger CS a couple of times but have not had a response.
Does anyone know what software will work with the tester or am I wasting my time?

PowerSuite should work with Windows 10 no problem. Might be some incompatibility in your precise setup I guess?

Windows 10 has a feature where you can run software in compatibility mode - it runs the software and simulates the older version of Windows required. From memory, right click on the .exe file, select properties 'run compatibility troubleshooter'. It worked for me running some Sony manuals from disc that were made for a much earlier version of Windows.

I'd be surprised though if something designed for Windows 7 didn't work fine with 10 straight away.

Sorry to hear to you have not received a reply to your emails. Megger Powersuite has to be installed in Windows 10 Safe Mode.

What does the software do exactly? I've got a 1730 but never played with the software, and how does it differ to the OnSite models?

The software allows downloading of the stored test data to produce certificates.
You can even 'blob' the individual results over to a cert as you test.
The Onsite package has a full licensed version of the Powersuite software included with the tester
