User Tool On Win 7 64 BitHello Robert, I installed 7.5 User and Dev Studio tool on my Windows 7 without switching to the XP mode, and it installed alright..
The only weird thing I experienced later was my inability to modify the dev studio initialization file to increase its JVM size. Oddly the system complained that I needed to be logged in as an administrator to perform that change, when I was logged in as an administrator.. Later by accident I learnt that the file was not stored in the location that it appeared to be stored at but in another Virtual Store location, and if modified from there it saved with no problems.. I am yet to get fully accustomed to Windows 7 but I think that's one of the 'new features' with Windows 7 that I have come to not like very much!

This can cause some stability issues. What Jeff is describing is called Compatibility Mode and works for most applications. When installing the 7.5 WUT you need to go to "\Disk1\InstData\VM" and set the Compatibility Mode for "setup.exe" to Windows XP SP2, then you can run the "setup.cmd" file a couple directories up which sets your system path information and runs the installer with the proper arguments. Earlier versions are a little bit easier to install since you just need to set the compatibility mode on the EXE installer. BTW, WUT 7.5 patch 004 crashes whenever it tries to open a FlashBoard on my system, so I downgraded to patch 003. Sincerely, Robert Fults Remedy Admin/Dev.

Nice to know.. Maybe that was what was wrong when I installed the Atrium Orchestrator Dev tool on my laptop. It didn't work correctly after installing and complained about some admin rights when launching the tool when I am the admin of the system! I'll uninstall it the next time I need to use it and install it in XP mode and see if it works..

In there you can select what OS you want it to simulate when you run the program..

I am pretty new to Windows 7 myself and can't quite say I like it as yet except for the pretty desktop pictures it comes with out of the box :-) Too much has changed from the XM / Windows 2000 Professional days, and many of those changes appear like they have tried to make things easier for new users just learning a new OS, but has left some of us old school guys wondering where is what..

I am using WUT 7.5/patch 5 and 7.1/patch 7 on my Win7 Ultimate, 64-bit (Dell Precision T7500). As I remember--the 7.5 installed without issue; the 7.1 required installing in XP/SP2 mode (basic installer would not recognize available disk space for installation). Don W. McClure, P.E.
