Anyone crazy enough to run Win7 beta as their primary OS?
-
I testest it on a (very) old machine (Pentium 3 800Mhz, 256MB RAM). I nearly gave up at "expanding files" - but after ages it finished (Lucky that I had something other to do, and left it allone :-)). Maybe you should try again and then wait...... :zzz: After installation has finished it worked fine, it was unbelievable, never thought it would run on this PC!

Only issue I have found is with the .msi installations, but they have posted a registry fix for that.
Mind posting the link? I'm planning to install Win7 as the primary OS soon, and I'm bound to run into the .msi issues. And I don't think I'm the only one. Thanks ;)

The error window will give you the following info but here it is anyway. “Detailed instructions: 1. Select and copy the following to your clipboard: reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f 2. Click on “Start”, then “All Programs”, then “Accessories” 3. Right click on “Command Prompt”, then click on “Run as administrator” 4. In the UAC prompt, verify that the program’s name is “Windows Command Processor” and then click “Yes” 5. Right click on the “Administrator: Command Prompt” window’s black area, then select “Paste” 6. Press “Enter”, you should see “The operation completed successfully”. If you see “ERROR: Access is denied”, please make sure you followed Step 3. 7. Close the “Administrator: Command Prompt window”
