Help Testing an Application Please

[Anne Troy]

Need someone with Win95, Win98, WinNT, Win2K, WinME to test a VB app for us. Any takers?

Just a quickie installation is all we want you to check. Prefer that I am with you on Yahoo Instant Messenger while you do it.

We'll pay $25/each. :)

Thanks!!

[Ken Puls]

Sorry, WinXP only here these days. :(

[Anne Troy]

What? No friends? :D

[Ken Puls]

Not with anything less than WinXP. I put that on their application! :*)

[Anne Troy]

OMFG...

[Jacob Hilderbrand]

I can test XP for you. Not much else tho.

[Anne Troy]

Okay. Thread moved "out to the public". :)

I have Win95 - on a computer upstairs so can try that but it won't be easy holding a conversation downstairs on Yahoo at the same time.
I have Win98 - but is dual boot on PC with internet (I can theoretically connect on another but I wouldn't want to guarantee that it would work) so can't easily co-exist with Yahoo.
I have WinMe - on a computer right beside me so that one is easy.
I have Win2000 - but not currently installed so that's not a lot of use.
I don't have WinNT (except disguised as XP)

Any use?

One day I'll get organised and have them all running properly under VPC but I need to install a bigger disk and probably more memory first.

Sounds like you need a Mac so you can run 64+ systems: check out Amit Singh (http://www.kernelthread.com/os/) who works for IBM but uses a Mac!

It's just a happy accident I have all these systems - I don't think I could handle all those other ones although I am pondering putting Linux on an old box just to see how I get on with it.

[Anne Troy]

It's not too late, guys. I've just hit a speedbump. And accept my apologies, please. I don't really require the Yahoo. I'll be back in a day or two.

kpuls gets Win98
TonyJollans gets Win95
xld gets WinNT

I only need one per OS, so y'all will have to fight over the rest of 'em. :)

And one person can test more than once, so Tony, if you want others, just grab 'em now.

Win2K and WinME still available? Interested here.. :hi:

xld gets WinNT
sheeng gets Win2K and WinME

Also, at some point, I need your PayPal email addresses (Not yet, I'll just lose them).

I might be able to release the exe for testing tonight.

[sheeeng]

What is the dateline for testing it?

Because i'll be having exams soon in a week time that last for 3 weeks.. Might need to ask for some time...sorry bout that...

Do I need to install MS Visual Studio? If yes, what version?

What areas we need to keep an eye of it when testing?

[Anne Troy]

No Visual Studio require.
This is an easy one. We don't need you to really test the software. We just need you to test the ease of installing. The software requires a MySQL ODBC install and (on Win98) may need you to install MDAC. We'll just be wanting to make sure it's "seamless" and clear to users.

[Anne Troy]

Oh. And I think it might take a half hour. Depends on whether your PC is connected to the net or if you have to burn downloads, etc.

[Anne Troy]

Okay, guys. Sorry. I've got kpuls checking Win98 right now. Can anybody test 95 or 2K ASAP, please? Stakes have been raised to $50 if you'll just quick test a few things in the software to ensure it'll run.

[Anne Troy]

By the way, the client even says you'll get paid tonight. :)

Anne,

I seem to be missing something here. Where do I get these downlaods from, the app we are testing (and a database I assume). I got one email, but I thought that was on a different subject.

I was waiting for u, Anne. You seem missing for few days...
I'm facing the same problem as xld. Where can I get the installation files? I can't find it in this thread.

Win2K and WinME ready here. :hi:

TIA.

[mvidas]

I can also test 2k, if needed for any reason

[TonyJollans]

I can test 95 now - but have no e-mail nor other info.

[ilyaskazi]

If sheeng is busy, then i m interested in testing for win2k.

[Anne Troy]

We've got them all covered, ilyaskazi. Thank you anyway. :)

[Adaytay]

Hello!!

I'll happily do 2K here for you Anne if you're still looking for testers on it.

Can also do 2003 server if required :)

[Anne Troy]

They're all covered, adaytay. :)

Done been tested and paid.

Thanks anyway!
