To be clear - you need admin rights to install the program, not to run it. Users should not log on and run their programs with admin rights.

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

Subject: iSeries Access and Win7

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?
