Rename the existing libPortability.dll (if present) to libPortability.dll.orig . Then copy libPortabilityNOSH.dll from the previous folder (or from this folder if it already exists) and rename it to libPortability.dll .
If you attempt to use the 64-bit version now, it will crash when browsing files. Follow these steps to swap out the broken 64-bit libraries with stable 32-bit alternatives:
Driver signing enforcement in Windows 10 blocks the vintage Xilinx cable driver.
Copy the modified libPortability.dll from your ISE directory ( C:\Xilinx\14.7\ISE_DS\ISE\lib\nt64\ ) and paste it into this PlanAhead folder. Step 4: Fix 64-bit Shortcuts
When you launch the desktop shortcut, VirtualBox boots silently in the background, and the ISE GUI appears on your Windows screen.
Repeat this process for the iMPACT shortcut if you plan to program hardware directly: C:\Xilinx\14.7\ISE_DS\ISE\bin\nt64\impact.exe Method 2: The Official Xilinx Windows 10 Virtual Machine
Getting your JTAG programmer (like the Platform Cable USB II) to work with Windows 10 requires updated, digitally signed drivers, as the original drivers included in the 14.7 package will fail Windows 10 driver signature enforcement.
This is the original installer intended for Windows 7. It can be forced to run natively on Windows 10 by manually replacing specific dynamic link library ( .dll ) files to prevent application crashes.
Locate the file named libPortabilityNOSH.dll in the same directory.
Requires manual file manipulation and environment variable configuration.
Instead of rewriting the code for modern Windows, Xilinx released a special "ISE 14.7 VM for Windows 10" The mess of FPGA development - EEVblog
