Installing Directory Printer on Windows 11 Home

A donor is having problems running Directory Printer on Windows 11. He says it starts up and then just stops.

I was hoping I would experience the same failure today on a new installation of Windows 11 Home into a Hyper-V virtual machine on my Dell PC that Microsoft refuses to upgrade to Windows 11 because of science or excuses or money or whatever.

Anyway.

I downloaded Windows 11 Home image from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

I installed it in a Hyper-V virtual machine along the lines of https://woshub.com/install-windows-11-hyperv-vm/

I updated Windows 11 all day. Well, actually, I went to work while it was updating and the computer went to sleep while the virtual machine was running — rude. So, I woke the machine up when I got back. It was running REALLY slowly, so I moved the virtual disk to a solid state drive and then it finished in like 10 seconds.

I downloaded Directory Printer from our website at https://www.karenware.com/powertools/karens-directory-printer

I installed it.

and

It worked.
