IS XILINX 14.7 ISE CRASHING IN WINDOWS 8 64BIT OS...??? HERE IS THE FIX...!!!

Are your unable to load the License file in Xilinx License Manager? Is the License Manager Window crashing every time?

Unfortunately Xilinx 14.7 ISE isn't 100% compatible with Windows 8 64bit OS, but it works just fine with windows 32bit and preceding versions of Windows.

Follow these simple steps to fix this problem:


Step 1) Go to: C:\Xilinx\14.5\ISE_DS\ISE\lib\nt64
Step 2) Rename libPortability.dll to libPortability.dll.orig
Step 3) Rename libPortabilityNOSH.dll to libPortability.dll
Step 4) Copy the file libPortability.dll <ctrl+c>

Step 5) Go to C:\Xilinx\14.5\ISE_DS\common\lib\nt64
Step 6) Paste the file that was copied in step 4  <libPortability.dll >

----DONE----
