Windows 7: problems installing windjview

dbcooper · 29 Aug 2009

when i run the setup i get :

error opening file:

C:\program files (x86)\windjview\windjview.exe

i really need this to read stuff for school. how do i go about fixing this?

p.s. it says on the windjview site that it is compatible with Windows 7

Have you tried running the setup as administrator, or running it in compatibility mode (Windows Vista SP1/SP2 will do).

I'll try installing it now, but I'm on RTM so it may be a tad different in results.

Alright setup went fine for me. Can you confirm the version you attempted to install? (I installed 1.0.3 from here.

Ok ya it worked for me aswell make sure your not trying to run a setup file versus the actual exe are you having trouble installing it or have you installed it and are having trouble launching it?

I've just tried this myself. The first time, I got the error as you described. However, by right clicking on the installation file and selecting Run as administrator, the program installed without further hitches.

ya, it's the 1.0.3. i tried right clicking and running as admin and it still did the same thing. ill try compatible mode next. ps. im running 7100 if that means anything

futhermore, it seems as if its not making the directory for it

dbcooper · 30 Aug 2009

wait, it did make the directory but its not populating it with the code

AND im trying to install it , not run it yet.

I just grabbed the installer from the page linked by Gundan, and installed it and ran it - then closed it and ran it again.

never once received an error message.

I am on the RTM - perhaps it has issues with build 7100?
