Hi... I tried doing clean install. I also tried the solution provided by PIETER BEENS, but no luck still.

Any other method, anyone... ?

under Compatibility mode, select Run this program in compatiblity mode for checkbox,
then select Windows XP (service pack 3) from the drop-down list.
Run the installation and it should work fine, I hope :)

I confirm Srdjan' trick. Worked like a charm for me after getting the error messages previously.

right-click on the Idiom installation file,
select Properties and then click the Compatibility tab,
under Compatibility mode, select Run this program in compatiblity mode for checkbox,
then select Windows XP (service pack 3) from the drop-down list.

Thank you for sharing your good idea.

For those trying to install Translation Workspace with MS Office 2010 64 bit version, it doesn't work. You need to install the 32 bit version first. I don't know if it's the right place to post this, but thought it might be useful to know to those who tried like me!

Anyway, thanks again Srdjan, nice one!

Post title: installation on 64-bit Win7

Hi,

After several hours trying to get this to work with 64-bit Win 7, I found that there was a missing step from the posts above.

This worked:

1) Remove any bodged .NET 1.1 installs with the MS recommended tool ( [url removed] )

2) Install .NET Framework 1.1 (NOT SP 1) , from here ( [url removed] )

3) Patch .NET Framework 1.1 up to Service Pack 1, from here ( [url removed] ) [the Missing Step]

4) Allow prompted restart after patch

5) Download the latest (free) version for here, filling out your contact details (wasn´t obvious as a download page): [url removed]

6) Install in compatibility mode as XP SP2

Et voila, hurrah, phew...

B.

(apologies for the long links)

[quote]A minute ago I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional, using the Windows Anytime Upgrade via the system information on my harddisk. Hint for colleagues: Do not buy online. There the upgrade is offered at US$ 199.95, whereas I just paid US$ 89.95 by poking around in the information provided by the machine. [/quote]
Sometimes I'm happy these fancy offers and services are not available in Poland :)

[quote]I will work on the XP virtual machine thing first thing tomorrow. 2:15am is a bad time for experiments. [/quote]
The virtual machine setup is really easy.
You receive a fully configured, clean machine with SP3.
You need only to install your software and run Windows update.

[quote]I am curious if the XP product key from my previous laptop (he died today) will be applicable for the virtualization software. [/quote]
If the OS was bundled with the notebook (OEM licence), no.
But you don't need any key.
The virtual machine is already activated.

PS.
You'll need separate antivirus software for the virtual machine.
You can use MS Security Essentials

If possible, upgrade to W7 Universal, you're be able to install and use other GUI languages (e.g. I have Vista PL but I use mainly the EN interface).

Surprisingly rapid.
Yesterday, I reinstalled all the old stuff in a virtual machine on the new notebook of my daughter, it seems really faster than the previous Virtual PC versions.
The only quirk I noticed was, of course, Trados :)
The setup shell exited unexpectedly two or three times with a .Net error but it was posible to finish the setup manually.

BTW.
You can also try to install these programs using compatibility mode.

I was just about to do the same. I bought a new laptop yesterday and I am not able to install and to use Idiom (I am working with the freelance version). I just signed up with the Yahoo Group mentioned above. The membership is pending, and will be approved by an Idiom employee. I don't know when. Is there a possibility to provide some information directly in this forum? I have lost two workdays already and my deadline is coming up. I called SDL this afternoon and they told me that there is no solution.

Thanks so much in advance!
