Problems with Eviews and DataStream (Win 8.1)

Hi,

I have problems with Datastream-integration on Windows 8.1 64b.

* I have most recent Eviews 8.1 32b
* I have downloaded the DSSSeriesPicker.dll from ThomsonReuters.
* Ran register.bat, choosing Use Admin rights when right-clicking bat-file

Didnt' work.

* Copied the dll-file to directory of exe-file, ran register.bat again. Nothing!

Works on my Win7 64bit-machine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Dagfinn

Are you receiving an error message? What is that error message?

Sorry!

Yes, I receive the ordinary about "Datastream Series Picker" error message (don't remember exact wording as I'm on a different machine now). The one that is supposed to be fixed with the updated DLL.

Best,
Dagfinn

We are in contact with Thomson. We will hopefully get a resolution soon. As of right now, our understanding is that the series picker does not work with Windows 8.

I will post any news as soon as we hear back from them.

You may want to contact them as well to help expedite things.
