• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Howdy all
I'm trying to install ASTRO 25 Portable CPS R20. on my Windows XP machine.
as i start up the setup I get an error say "The Installation Wizard has detected that the Motorola Application Launcher is running in the System Tray. Please close the Launcher before installing or uninstalling the ASTRO 25 Portable CPS" as soon as i hit OK the program closes.

thank you for you're help!

I believe current Astro 25 CPS will require Windows 7, or newer. I used to run CPS 14 in my XP, but newer versions required me to get a Windows 7 laptop.

R20.00.01 supports XP/Vista/7/8/8.1 on either 32 bit or 64 bit.

I've got the newest Astro CPS on a XP machine, and it works fine

Astro and Astro 25 are two different series of radios. Astro is first gen digital radios such as Astro Spectra, Astro Saber and XTS3000. Astro 25 is XTL, XTS (excluding the XTS3000) and Astro Spectra Plus. Astro CPS typically will have comm issues when ran on 64 bit machines.

I meant to add the "25" to "Astro", but I was too lazy [emoji16] but I have the Astro25 CPS on my XP computer and it runs fine
