Re: Personal alpha on Windows 7
It runs on Vista with some precaution (You'll need to run the installation program as administrator, create a new shortcut and set it to run as admin as well), it _might_ be that the same procedure wil make it run on Windows 7.
Chances are that it won't work either way. "Backward comptability" is not in the DNA of most Windows developers...

Given the retirement of the legacy Microsoft Windows platforms locally, I do not know how well this approach might or might not work.
Or (best) ask Stromasys.

Re: Personal alpha on Windows 7
Asking about it because I run mainly XP at home and only 1 Vista computer. Learned the hard way to avoid windows ME (anyone else remember that). I am looking at a new system with windows 7 as a free upgrade and with a quad core cpu, thinking - hey - VM alpha on it :D
Thanks for the responses. Guess I will have to wait for answer from Stromasys.

SolutionI've received 2 answers from Stromasys on this question:
- PersonalAlpha is supposed to work on Windows 7. Just set GUI.EXE and ALPHA.EXE to run with admin privs and in Windows XP mode.
- some 'official' version may be built with Windows 7 support until the end of this year.
