Re: Installing CA on W7 64bit

It does matter, however, if you are using a 7.1 virtual loaner and don't have your own media - and downloading the directories and using that to install did not work - sigh!

So I went back to putting 6.1 on from media we do have - EIM management has a couple problems, will be getting the latest PTF.

Do I recall some Microsoft thing that has to be done for 6.1 and up?

install media. You can use a CD, ISO downloaded, etc.

Will take you to a page for you to download virtual-pc for free.

Install it on your Win7. It might require a re-boot. Start it. A window will come up
that looks just like XP. Install CA into it.

Enjoy,

Gary,

I'm not familiar with Virtual XP...details?

Jim, instead of connecting my machine to a V7 machine ("Mohammed to the
mountain") wouldn't it be possible to burn a DVD with a newer version of CA
on it ("mountain to Mohammed")? Or is the only way to get it onto a
machine via IFS?
