For some years now, I have had a ready-to-run UIview setup packaged as a VMware virtual machine on my website, for download.? This bundle included UIview, installed and ready to run, with all it's plug-ins including Precision Mapping 9.0, along with an installer for the freeware VMware Player required to run the VM.
I have just updated the bundle with extensive revisions to the install notes and a much more recent version of the VMware Player. I have tested and verified that the VM now runs on Windows 11, as well as Win XP, 7, 8.x and 10.? I now have the VM and VMware running successfully under "Windows Tiny 11" on? my el-cheapo USD $129 Walmart Lenovo 14" laptop with only 4 GB RAM.
("Tiny 11" is an unofficial distribution of Windows 11 that results in an installed footprint less than 1/3rd (!) that of the? normal Win11 -- 7 GB compared to 22 GB+ for standard 11.? This is achieved by stripping out a lot of the MS bloat including smart-phone-app wanna-be MS Store app cruft, games, hooks for popup advertising & user tracking, and the sprawling invasive Edge browser. ? It will run on a lot of hardware that Microsoft claims can't run Win 11, including those lacking the "trusted computing platform" module and oceans of RAM.)
The freeware VMware Player application is also available for MacOS and Linux, though not included in my bundle.? This means UIview can be run on Macs and Linux devices, including potentially the higher-powered versions of the Raspberry Pi.
