Lotus 123 on Windows 10, 64-bit

Solved

Hello,

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 59.0

It is impossible to run Lotus 123 version 5 on Windows 10-64 bits, nor even on Windows 7.
I was advised to install a virtual machine emulating Windows XP. This was done.
Lotus 123 works on this machine and I can create new files.
Problem: I cannot open my old .wk4 files and I receive a message “*.wk4 is not a virtual machine configuration file (.vmx).”
Is it possible to convert my old .wk4 files so that Lotus 123 on the virtual machine can open them?
Thank you.

    Hi

    If Lotus works in the VM, there's no reason it shouldn't work

    Are your files properly in the virtual disk of the XP machine (or in a shared folder)?

    It seems like you're trying to open them through a VirtualBox function rather than through Lotus

    What are you doing exactly ?

      Thank you Kaumune, everything is fine with the files in the virtual drive...

      Grandpa is not wrong. It's one of the resolutions.
