Re: iSeries Access and Win7

Jerry - having admin rights isn't enough - you have to explicitly right-click and pick the option to install as Administrator - at least in the Win 7 I'm using, and I'm in the Administrator group. I'm a duffer, too, sometimes, and grow weary of the "security" stuff that gets so hard in Windows, is so IMHO easy in i5/OS.

Sean,

Thanks. I have the 7.1 CD and the service pack.

I wasn't aware about the Admin requirement since Win98. Guess I just never
ran into that roadblock. I'll check and see if our hired gun (aka the boss'
son) set up this user with admin rights.

I don't recall having any issues installing System i Access on Win 7 32 or
64 bit. You do need to use a new enough version. The V5R4 version is not
supported. I'm using the V6R1 version, but the V7R1 version would be
better. You do want to install the latest service pack. You always need to
install programs with administrator access on every Windows after Win98, so
I'm not sure why that is a current issue to bring up.

To determine the Windows version, right click on Computer (I have one on my
Start menu, but I think it's still possible to hide that; anywhere you can
get to it is fine) and click Properties which should take you to "Control
Panel\System and Security\System". You should see a section labeled System
that includes an entry System type that specifies 64 bit if it is. Another
hint is if you have "C:\Program Files (x86)"

In the emulator session, Help -> About Personal Communications shows version
5.9 in the V6R1 version. I believe the V5R4 version showed 5.8. I don't
have the newer version to confirm what it shows, though it may be on
wiki.midrange.com

I have to install iSeries Access on a new PC running Win7. I have the
proper iSeries Access installation CD, but I don't know if the PC is running
32- or 64-bit version. There has been some discussion on the WDSc List
that, I think, it has to be installed under an Admin profile on the PC if
installing on a 64-bit version of Win7.



I haven't found anything in the archives along the same lines regarding
iSeries Access. Does anyone one of anything that I need to do and/or be
aware of if installing to the 64-bit version of Win7?
