Yes, Castor works with Windows 11. However, if you're using DPI I would recommend staying with Windows 10 unless you're using DPI v16 as DPI v15 has significant issues with Windows 11. Thank you for the positive note. I love hearing about people's successes. |

Unfortunately my company is forcing me into a new computer with Windows 11, otherwise I would totally stay with my Windows 10 where Caster has been working for a couple of years. Thanks for the heads up about DPI versions though. Are there any plans to upgrade castor to use Python 3? I'm having a difficult time installing with Python 2. For real though, I'm a software developer with three young kids and started having RSI issues two years ago. Caster has allowed me to stay in a career I actually really like and keep providing for my family! I cannot say thank you enough!!! |

Yes, caster is python 3 compatible and there is a compatible build DPI 13 through 16 natlink with python3.10 32-bit. See the issue pinned #911 |

Awesome; thanks for pointing me in the right direction!! So I think my company's firewall isn't letting the install file download the requirements. Is my best bet to get each requirement manually? Will Caster run if I get all the requirements? If you have any ideas on how to best go about this, I'd be forever grateful. Thank you everyone for the quick responses!

@LexiconCode , The stackoverflow link was exactly what I was looking for! Pillow was giving me all kinds of trouble installing saying it needed zlib... I fought with it for a few hours, when I finally stumbled upon https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41188838/cant-install-pillow-in-windows And was able to install it via its Windows installer package found here https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pillow. I have the marvelous caster running on my new computer!! thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction and for all your work to provide this beauty! |

I also went through a stretch of several years where I had serious pain
from typing, and Caster was indispensable in doing my job (engineering, but
a fair amount of coding). Thanks to all who have made this possible.
I think I am currently running the DropPy2 build of Caster with Python 3 on
my Windows 10 computer. It looks like that is not being actively developed
though.

@Azarious , sorry if this is obvious, but what is "DropPy2 build of Caster"? A quick Google search didn't show anything... |

It's a branch dropping python 2 support. In GitHub there is master branch and DropPy2 branch. There's further developments made on my own fork if you look at my branches rather than upstream. |

My time elsewhere has been sucked up by Natlink. In addition, mid migration Qt quit releasing binaries for 32 bit which means I can't use it with Python 32 bit. So I'm having to migrate GUI code. Combined with life events and some of the things that's taking much longer than expected. |
