    It is probably a good bet the program doesn't run on Vista either. That's where most of the changes were made, Win7 being a fairly minor update in most ways.

    Too bad you didn't pay atention during the DevReadiness period back in 2006-2007. There were lots of helpful materials back then that are gone now.


    If you can give any specific information about what "not running" actually means we might have suggestions. This very likely isn't a deployment issue at all, but one of "correct programming." Programs written to follow the rules should install and run on Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 just fine. The difference is that Windows now enforces rules people used to get away with flauting.
