[SOLVED] Info from fellow chefs about cooking with Windows 7

I have a computer which is in need of a new install of software. I'm leaning toward trying windows 7 Latest build. Can some of the cooks here shed some light on how the kitchens and ROM tools work on W7. Vista has been OK to hit and miss sometimes.
moderators I did not know any other place to ask this question where it can been seen by BlackStone cooks. After some replys you can delete it if need be.

No problems to run VK with WM 7 on my laptop, no blue screens sofar.

I too use VK on windows7RC and have no problems with compatability etc,

Same here no problems with windows 7 RTM and VK on my pc

Ok Thanks to all of you I'm going to give it a try.My XP Machine died and I have not been able to get CE cab manager to run on my Vista machine. I get access violation error when trying to open files. I have tried everything. So I'm going to load W7 on and try it out.

W7 also has the Windows XP mode (VM) build in.. You could try starting stuff that doesnt work from there, atleast if it is out of beta, the beta was kinda sluggish

Thanks, I have W7 installed and it seems to be working good. Now I hope I can run CE Cab Manager.

Solution found, thread closed

Anyone got WinCe Cab Manager running on 64bit Windows 7

Hey all, I've been using a 32bit version of Windows 7 for a while now, however last night, I decided I would completely wipe my hardrive and start fresh, and so I though, considering I have 4gb of ram, I would go to 64bit. However Ive just been reinstalling all my applications, and it seems Win Ce Cab Manager is only comptible with 32bit operating systems.... Surely not everyone who makes cabs on this site is running 32 bit Have any of you found any solutions to running a 32bit program like Win Ce on a 64bit os like windows 7?
Thanks in advance

32bit programs DO work on a 64bit OS, they get installed into a different program files folder (Program Files x86).
I have WinCE Cab Manager working fine on my Windows 7 64bit.

Worked on Vista 64 + 7 64 can you please explain what doesn't work?
Have you installed MSXML 4.0
I'm not back to XP Pro SP3 as had .ico issues with Windows 7 yep get 3GB of RAM but the overheads are so low that it's not comparable and it just works

Yeah most seem to, however when I run the setup I get this error:
Code:
The instillation/removal of a previous program was not completed. You will need to restart your computer to complete the installation.
After restarting your computer, run Setup again to complete the installation of WinCE CAB Manager
However I still get the error when I restart. And then I found [this] which made me assume that it wasnt compatible?
Ive tried running the setup in compatibility mode, no luck.

MSXML 4.0 is essential you may also find that you need to update .net 3.5 can't mem about if 7 needed it but i had a very similar error when didn't have both noted.

can't install apps, connection error

Hey guys and gals, I'm having a problem with installing apps to wp7. I have xbmod rom, and when I want to send an app to device it says something about that device is not connected. But it is, and it has cert installed via email. Zune is up, and Dev tolls installed...
I just want to install Facebook and youtube. nothing else... Can I put xap files in rom and than do an automatic install at first startup?
please help

fixed, I installed Vista on virtual machine, and it worked... so, I guess the fault is either in operating system (win 7 64bit) or some installed software are doing conflicts (not skype or firewall nor AV)
So, mod can lock this.

hey am having the same problem, can you tell me how you did it
like more info?
thanks

As I was getting connection errors in my Win 7 64bit, in chevorn, app deployment software, tom xap etc. I just installed Windows Vista 32bit (Sp2- important) on virtual machine (vmware or virtualbox, whichever you prefer) and then I installed Windows Phone development tools in that windows, and that's it. App deployment works, chevron works... everything works as charm.
As I sad, I guess that our installations of Windows have some software that blocks ports, in my case, I'm pretty sure that port 443 was open, but something else was interfering with connection of HD2.
So fresh install of Windows or even better Windows on virtual machine is the real solution. because nothing else worked till this.
Hope I helped someone with this. Mods can put this information is some sticky tutorials about connection problem.
Good Luck

[Q] how to get QXDM to install on windows 7

how do you get QXDM to install on windows 7? Ive tried multiple versions but they always fail on install asking for IE 5.0 or IE6.0 or greater, when I have IE10 installed. Any ideas?

I've read that if you run in windows 95 mode and disable windows features that it works.
Edit: you could always create a vm with windows xp. Also look for a internet explore 5 install. Try that. I know it sounds stupid but maybe internet explorer 7 and up changed the way it explores
Edit edit: which version do you have? Use .12 or later and make sure your internet explorer is set as default. *found on some forum* this is useful because I've had the same issue with a different program back in the early days of windows 7.

Not solved for me...running Win7 64bit and same installation error message re: IE...

Fixed QXDM 3.11.36 can't install on win 7 64bits
If you got "QXDM need ie6 or later error" when try to install it on windows 7 64bit, here is the solution that works for me:
Remove Internet Explorer including IE9, IE10, IE11, any newer version.
Then try to install QXDM now, try with admin if you still got error.
I got it work with QXDM 3.11.36, windows 7 ultimate 64bits.
Hope this help some one!
