Hi,
I’m trying to install OpenXDA on my laptop with Windows 11 software but I’ve run into several issues because the installation prerequisites include software that isn’t compatible with Windows 11. I was wondering if it’s possible to install OpenXDA on Windows 11 and, if so, what steps I need to follow. Thank you, and I look forward to your reply.
Hi Pierluigi01,
There aren’t any requirements which aren’t supported on Windows 11. You will need .NET Framework 4.8+ and SQL Server 2022+. I believe that should be all you need.
Thanks,
Stephen
Thanks for the reply. I was able to install openXDA, but I ran into some issues during the data test. I followed the instructions on GitHub, but the idconfig.bat file doesn’t open properly (it opens and closes quickly without showing me the script as shown in the guide). Also, after copying all the XDATestData folders into the Watch folder, XDAconsole shows me what I’ve shown in the attached image.
If, on the other hand, I go to the openXDA web manager by entering http://localhost:8989 and try to access the system center, a page opens saying “Unable to access the site—connection denied by localhost.” How can I resolve these issues?
We made a lot of changes to the database schema for openXDA 3.0, which necessitated some changes to the device definitions file format. Now there should be an ldconfig-v1.bat file which supports the old device definitions file format. If you run that instead, it should be able to load the XDATest data that you are trying to process in your screenshot.
System Center is a separate tool so in order to access it, you will need to install it separately.
I checked the SystemCenter GitHub repository but there are no releases published. How can I install System Center separately to access it at localhost:8987?
Sorry about that. I guess you’ll need to use the nightly build.

I installed SystemCenter from the link, but port 8997 still doesn’t working
It should be port 8987. If you still can’t reach the web interface using the correct port number, you will need to make sure that the SystemCenter service is running and/or check log files to see if there is an error preventing it from hosting the website.
Thank you for your response, but I also need help with two other issues.
I installed PQDashboard on Windows 11 Home, but I get a BadImageFormatException error when loading w3wp.exe from SysWOW64. Windows authentication is not available in IIS on Windows 11 Home. Is there a workaround or an alternative configuration?
Is it possible to install the PQBrowser tool, which I can’t find on GitHub?
If you can’t use Windows Authentication, I believe you should be able to use Basic authentication to log in as a database user instead of a Windows user.
As for PQ Browser, it used to be called SE Browser. It was rebranded, but we haven’t updated most of the references to the old name so that’s probably why you can’t find it.

I downloaded PQDashboard and SEBrowser from the link you provided, but when I try to access them via OpenXDA’s WebManager or via http://localhost/PQDashboard and localhost/SEBrowser, I get the errors shown in the attached images
