[OpenSPIM] Picard stage adapter problem

[Aurelia Honerkamp-Smith]

Hello everyone,

I'm running into a problem when I try to configure my 4D stage.  If I
configure using the January 31 2013 OpenSPIM download, without updating
through the website first, the Picard stage loads and works normally.
However once I run the update, the stage can't be found (I get the error
message, "OpenSPIM Unable to load library: file not accessible or
corrupted," and it appears as "Picard stage (unavailable)" in the hardware
configuration wizard list of devices. Has anyone else had this problem?
Also, the MicroManager version changes to 1.4.x dev after I run the
updater; is that as it should be?  I would simply not update, except that I
need to do so for my camera to be recognized.

A second question: is there any possibility or plan for the OpenSPIM
software to be made compatible with Windows 7?  I can't acquire a new
computer and run XP on it anymore, as our computing department won't
purchase XP now that it's not supported.  I'm using an older machine with
XP now, to set up, but I suspect it will be inadequate once I'm acquiring
real data sets.

Thanks,
Aurelia
