I’m attempting to load Universe 10.2 (yeah, I know it’s old) on a Windows 11 Pro platform. I’m getting a load error: “Could not load UniVerse DLL D:\IBM\UV\BIN\universe.dll”.
Has anyone had any success in loading this releases on Windows 11, or have found a work around for it? (beside upgrading..lol)
Thank you all in advance..

Mark,
You could try using the Microsoft “Sysinternals” tools to trace where the failure is happening, though a useful starting point would be to check the DLL is where it says it is and it’s properties.
From the Rocket product matrix, the last version of 10.2 certified on Windows was 10.2.10 which went EOL in 2023 and was certified on:
XP (SP2)
VISTA
2008 (SP1)
2003 (SP2 R2)
2000 (SP4)
You may be in a hiding to nothing here - but the above may at least help identify the first stumbling block and allow you to move on. You could load a.Windows 2008 SP1 virtual machine if you really want to go with this old a release - though with all the usual caveats about the lack of current Windows security updates which ended in 2015 and the older SSL.security ciphers in 10.2.x and lack of security updates and patches.
I strongly recommend upgrading UniVerse to a current release.

+4The official rocket stance on this matches what JJ (who used to work for us) has already mentioned.
UniVerse 10.2 is not ceritfied on Windows 10, let alone Windows 11.
At best the last release of 10.2 was certified on
XP (SP2)
VISTA
2008 (SP1)
2003 (SP2 R2)
2000 (SP4)
It was released 18 Apr 2008 and is a 32Bit Version.
Even if you got it to install we would not expect it to work on Windows 11, given the work we had to do to first certify on Windows 10 / 11.
