I've used GTM several times without issue (both with and without UAC). I found the installer elsewhere, though, and it installed fine. Do you have UAC turned-off? I've turned UAC off and that's fixed a lot of my problems, and it may have even fixed my Virtual Clone Drive (haven't retested Yes, I did have some challenges getting GoToMeeting installed, but that was simply because the download page (for whatever crazy reason) blocks download from Win7. I was a bit worried since I found posts that it works but windows cannot automatically shutdown once installed, but no such problem either. Virtual Clone Drive works fine on my machine with W7. Hope this helps all of you joining me on the bleeding edge! If there are enough comments, I’ll update the post with the community compatibility updates. Also, feel free to share your own experiences in the comments to help others. If I have any other major installs, I’ll be sure to update this post, so bookmark this for future reference. As you can see, the only things really giving me trouble are Live Mesh, Virtual Clone Drive, and Window’s own built-in DVD authoring. After a restart, low and behold, Live Mesh started working! And, the files that previously wouldn’t work with Windows DVD burner suddenly were available for burning! Guess UAC needs some more “tweaking.” For now, if you’re a power user, you can probably save some headaches by turning it off. UPDATE: I just got tired of needing to elevate everything to “Run as Admin” to get anything done, so I disabled UAC completely. I’ve built a Vista VPC and it works like normal. Installs and works great! Better than 3D-FTP. Point: latest version is not worth the upgrade. Granted, I’ve never used the latest version on Vista (I was using an older version previously). I’ve recorded a few video, edited them, and published them without issue.īah! I’ve love this program for so long, but alas the latest version just doesn’t work well on Win7. Installs fine, works fine, intercepts download fine ![]() Workaround: grab the installer directly and you’ll be fine: Just plain dumb since their software already appears to work fine in Win7. Works fine (I’ve used GTM and GTW) BUT for whatever crazy reason, Citrix blocks downloads of the GTM software when you access the download site from Win7. Install worked fine, but application does not work. ![]() Development experience works and apps built with the tools work in Win7. Telerik RadControls/Telerik Reporting/Telerik OpenAccesss ORM/Telerik WebUI Test StudioĪll Telerik tools install and work fine. UPDATE: After disabling UAC, Windows data DVD authoring is working as expected. Window’s built-in data DVD authoring would not work for me. After a reboot and run as admin from a DVD (must burn files to disc first), installs fine. Performance much improved recently.Īdobe CS3 (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) All attempts to use WCF or ASMX web services in Cassini currently fail. UPDATE: Only major problem so far is working with web services. UPDATE: After disabling UAC, it now works! Also, cannot uninstall- all attempts currently fail. For now, this is broken for me, though I know it’s working for others. Fails to start and provides relatively generic error. Installed and worked at first, now fails to start on boot. Works most of the time, but a little buggy. Chrome is crashing much more often than it did in Vista (yes, Chrome does crash). UPDATE: Well, maybe it’s not perfect in Win7. Won’t launch if not launched as admin.įireBug 1.4 (alpha) works fine in FF3.1 beta on Win 7. There is a solid work around out there, though. With that out of the way, here are the specific apps I’ve installed and the current status (last updated: ): App Name ![]() In cases where run as admin failed, rebooting solved most of my remaining install problems. When the simple “Run as admin” fails to solve the problem, try rebooting, then re-running the install. With elevated privileges, most installs recover and work- even installs that should have worked b/c they worked in Vista. It is very possible that you will hit problems when trying to install your software, but in almost all cases, you can solve your problems with these steps: To help others traveling along this path, I plan to log my experiences here for my app compatibility experiences with Win7 Beta.īefore I begin listing apps, though, let me provide my general advice when it comes to installing software on Windows 7 beta. I recently made the jump to start running Win7 full-time and have already installed a number of applications with varying degrees of success. With Windows 7 officially in beta and millions of people apparently clamoring to try it, I expect many people will be playing the “does it/doesn’t it” work game with their favorite software and the new beta OS.
