Updates
Fix for Windows 7 and above
 Following reports Domesday Explorer would not run on later versions of Windows, we have determined the problem lies with the Borland Database Engine (BDE) on which Domesday Explorer relies.  Unfortunately, Borland stopped releasing updates to their installer for later versions of Windows, but various people have packaged up the BDE with installers which work.

We have successfully used this one.  It is simple to download and install, after which Domesday Explorer will run normally.

Update to Domesday Explorer: version 1.1
An update to Domesday Explorer software, v1.1 can be downloaded from the Downloads page.  It can only be installed over a prior copy of version 1.0 as the update does not include the data which has not changed since version 1.0.
