I'm using InnoSetup as well for the K3, P3, W2, and K144XV utilities. I've never heard of this problem before today. I've been using Windows 7 64-bit for a few months now, and I know I have a fair number of Windows 7 customers.

My directory comes up with RO also, and I can also write there. Thanks Microsoft....... I use InnoSetup for my installs, and it has a constant that will put writable files in the proper directory, and I am pretty sure it unpacks the install (by default) into temp. No problems with it so far on WIn7. I'm puzzled.
