Saab WIS and EPC for Windows 10
The Saab WIS (Workshop Information System) and EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog) were originally designed for Windows XP 32bit. Credit goes out to captainfrank in the UK who made the Saab WIS and EPC work on the current versions of Windows for both 32 and 64-bit computers. Most computers are 64-bit these days.
The software in the links below should work on both 32 and 64 bit versions of Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. I assume it will also still run on Windows XP.
I downloaded through my browser and that works great and downloads quickly. Just download the .exe files to your computer and install. You may get a warning about the installation of an app from an unknown publisher.
I installed on my Windows 10 Pro x64 computer and everything seems to be working great. It will put shortcuts for both the WIS and EPC on the desktop.
