Windows 7

[Trent B]

I am going to hope someone sees this

I tried installing windows 7 and everything worked I didnt try solidworks though but I noticed autodesk inventor outright said it couldnt install as I was incompatible.

3dsMax installed most of the way but there was a popup part way through whcih i didnt read and just clicked a button to make go away since i was busy at the time, so maybe it would have installed.

Anyways i reverted to XP and now I am wondering if anyone knows how to get the autodesk software to install in 7, i tried running them in compatibility mode and it didnt work :/ so now I am lost as to what to do since I really liked 7.

Also im on a Mac with Bootcamp and I think autodesk says that my platform isnt completely supported even under XP because of bootcamp I believe, so I am wondering if any other bootcampers have had success/lack therof. Since it may be possible it is doing two strikes, one for bootcamp 1 for seven and not letting me install. What about SolidWorks?

Thanks for your help,

Reading Jeffs Post it sounds like he had to have XP running separately to make it work, is this a method worthy of trying?
