Xilinx 14.7 Fix for Windows 10 and 11

This repository contains a script that resolves most (if not all) issues with Xilinx 14.7 on Windows 10 and 11.

Instructions

Pre-requisites

1. Uninstall any existing Xilinx installation.
   • Ensure that the Xilinx and .Xilinx folders do not exist in the C:\ directory.
2. Download the standard Xilinx 14.7 installer (not the Windows 10-specific version).

Installation Steps

1. Run the Xilinx installer (xsetup.exe).
2. Before proceeding with the installation, execute the xilinx_14.7_fix.bat file as Administrator.
3. Continue with the installation process as usual.
4. Around 91% progress, the WebTalk process (xwebtalk.exe) will be triggered.
   • The script will automatically terminate this process to prevent the installation from freezing.
   • After that, the script will replace certain DLLs in the Xilinx directory.
5. After installation is complete, open Manage Xilinx Licenses and install your license file.

Tips

• Unresponsive Terminal:
  If the terminal appears stuck, press any key to refresh it.

• File Copy Errors:
  If the script fails to copy some files, check the .bat file for a list of paths that require manual updates.

• WebTalk Process Not Terminated:
  If the script does not terminate xwebtalk.exe automatically, open Task Manager and end the process manually.
