E-Learning Suite and Installing on Windows 7

[John From Don]

Hi all,

I am trying to evaluate the benefits of working in Windows 7 64-bit compared to using XP 64-bit, and upto now, it keeps coming up with an error telling me it needs windows XP 64-bit with SP2 and similar for Vista 64-bit.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way of installing ELS on 64-bit Windows 7. I had seen some method of installing I-Tunes on 64-bit XP that used a tool to change one of the files to fox the installation routine, but I am at a loss. 

Before anyone mentions the fact Windows 7 is a beta version etc, we are looking at this as an long-term evaluation for the delivery of content and development platform, therefore it is important we get this right at this stage.

Hi there

Unfortunately I have nothing to offer you WRT Windows 7 beta. But you definitely should consider reporting it as an issue using the Bug Report. Just so Adobe has it logged and will begin to see that users are migrating toward that platform.

Cheers... Rick

I have installed CP4 on a 32-bit Windows 7-system and that works all right. But many people on this forum reported problems with 64-bit Vista, so I'm also afraid this will be a problem with 64-bit Windows 7.

We have it installed on Vista 64-bit and have had it installed on even XP 64-bit!

I have it installed in a Windows 7 64 bit and don´t see any problem (until now).

[John From Don]

What version of Windows 7 64-Bit are you using.

We have Build 7100.

Thanks

[Yuri_Peixoto]

Build 7100 here too.

[John From Don]

So is there anything specific you did?

[Yuri_Peixoto]

Nothing too much specific.

The installation was  really smooth, I don´t have any problem with it. The software is responding to all my demands, until now.

I´m using the Captivate to create interactive courses of software use, so I´m doing a lot of recording, using little bits of Flash and great chunks of Photoshop to the edition and creation of my lessons. Sometimes, with these softwares all opened at the same time (what put my CPU to scream against me!)
