Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and RMS 1.3R

Not sure if it can be done, but no matter what i try, installed sql2k5, updates, run in compatibility mode (Win XP SP2), and I always get the same message - ...Store Operations install interupted...

I just need to run the manager (from the backoffice)....any ideas?

Thanks

Angelo, We have had the same results. We think it is more to do with 64-bit than it does Windows 7.

I really didn't have any intention of installing sql, I figured maybe that was hanging it up. I will give your suggestion a try.

Thanks

Jeff is correct (as usual). XP Mode with Virtual PC is the answer if you need to run RMS 1.2/1.3 Manager on a Win7 Pro 64-bit station. I've set this up for several locations. Note that XP Mode is only available for Win7 Pro or higher and the computer's processor must support virtualization (turned on in the BIOS). Once it is set up you can run RMS 1.2/1.3 directly from Win7. The virtual machine runs in the background so the first time you open RMS it takes a minute for XP Mode to boot up. Pretty slick solution imo.

I haven't tested the dongle with XP Mode but it does provide USB support so I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. I'm assuming the same holds true for USB peripherals but I haven't tested that and really they should just upgrade to 2.0 if they are going to Win7 on the registers.
