BVWS cd's and Windows 7
Got around to trying to install these on the new pc and seems that the installer is not compatible with W7
I can read the .pdf files on the disk so it's not really a problem though. |

Re: BVWS cd's and Windows 7
No point in installing them. Just copy all the files into a folder. This is my arrangement. I blanked the folder window so you can't see what else I've got hidden there

Re: BVWS cd's and Windows 7
The only installer on the CDs is for Adobe Reader and you can get a more recent one that does work on Win 7 from www.adobe.com if you don't have it already.
The CD-ROMs were of course made long before Vista/7. |
