Note on Windows 7, 8, Windows Server 2012
The latest 139+ versions do not support old Windows versions 7 and 8 and Windows Server 2012. The reason is deprecation of these old Windows versions by Chromium: https://www.electronjs.org/blog/windows-7-to-8-1-deprecation-notice
If you need to use old Windows versions for some reasons there is a possibility to run SQX using sqcli and access the UI using browser, more instructions are in this article: https://strategyquant.com/doc/cli-command-line/gui-starts-webserver-to-access-gui-remotely/
Using newest Java version
SQX is build on Java and uses Java runtime, which is distributed together with SQX in /j64 folder. Java used in SQX is proven and stable, but it is not always the newest version.
If you experience Java crashes on your computer you can use the newest Java version.
You can download newest Java JDK from several places:
- Azul Java (slightly recommended): https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk#zulu
- GraalVM: https://www.graalvm.org/downloads/
- Adoptium project: https://adoptium.net
After download just unzip it and replace the /j64 folder in your StrategyQuant installation with downloaded Java version.
