Is it still possible to download the PCG? There is no link from the "products" section of the main site.
Go to the users and service guides downloads. Then accessories. It is then in the dropdown towards the bottom.

Excellent. Many thanks - now installed.

So is there a way of getting this to run on a Windows 10 PC? I get error messages when I try to run.
I used to have an old XP laptop to run it on, but no more ..
Appreciate anyone's help!
Yes you will need an XP PC. I also tried it in Windows 10.
Thanks David - I thought that may be the case!
Hi Guy,
Use the Microsoft Hyper-V feature to install a Windows XP and then in this virtual machine you can install the product configuration guide.
I once did this on a windows 7 pc with the MS integration feature. This was the MS Virtual PC with a MS image of Windows XP.

Thanks Ralph-Marcus - I may well give that a try.
But in the meantime, I just found an old laptop that my mother-in-law had dropped off for me to 'fix'. I booted it up to discover the wonderful VISTA operating system , downloaded the PCG and it works perfectly!
It's a simple B&O tool where you can configure a virtual multi room system by choosing what B&O components you have in each room (audio and video), and (for example) whether you are using MCL (like me!) or ML, plus what speakers are being used. It then gives a quite detailed summary of how to connect the components (what leads are required), and what option settings they should all be in.
It's getting a bit dated now, but I find it very useful to double check my settings, cabling requirements etc. It can sometimes be useful for answering other people's setup questions on here.
I don't think any modern (NL-era) equipment is included (and I'm not firing up VISTA to check! )
