Windows 7 and Beersmith

Austin_ · Jun 22, 2009

I've sent an email off to technical support regarding this, but figured I'd post here as well.

I installed the Windows 7 RC the other day on my new computer. I went to install Beersmith and it gives me an error and crashes before anything has installed. Has anyone else tried to install it on Windows 7 and if so have you had any luck? I understand they might not support Windows 7 yet, and that's cool, but it'd be nice to have it.

I'm assuming it does not support Windows 7 yet. I'm sure its still pretty buggy too.

I have it running on Windows 7 64-bit right now. Are you running the 32 or 64 bit version of windows?

I can't seem to get it running in 3.11 either

hopvine · Jun 22, 2009

I too have it installed and running without any issues. Windows 7 64bit.

LOL. I think this went over the head of many.

I'm running 64-bit. I heard back from Brad at Tech Support and he mentioned that I try the zipped version of the installer and see if that works. I'm at work right now, but when I get home tonight I'll give it a try.

How do you like 7?

I expect a new drive from Newegg tomorrow. Plan on putting it in my Dell laptop and loading up 7.

Drivers out there for most stuff?

IMO 7 is awesome. On this machine I've built, to this day I can't get Vista to work properly. On the same machine 7 installed flawlessly, picked up all of my hardware and has been chugging along without a single problem for months.

It's everything vista was supposed to be and more. When I installed it I was cautious and just kept it dual booting with XP because I figured there were still some bugs to be worked out, but after about a week I just nuked XP completely and don't even bother dual booting any more.

I was cleaning out or server room a few weeks ago and found an original copy of 3.1 still in the box unopened.

Isin't WIN -7 supposed to be a cross between Vista and MS XP? :off:

Just asking.

It's an improvement on vista but it is supposed to be able to run xp programs in a virtual environment that is hidden to the user. we've been testing it here at work and i think its great

Cool, looking forward to the new OS. I'm still running XP on my computer, but the rest of the family all have Vista on theirs. Such a PITA I never upgraded.

I see! I recently bought a new laptop with Vista, and have spent several hours trying to navigate through Vista. I'm such an XP "groupie" that I feel lost when using Vista. I can't wait to see what WIN-7 looks like. Sorry for the OFF TOPIC remarks.

I did the same. I had been running both of them, but last night I went ahead and dumped XP. I had a good relationship with XP, but it was time for something new.
