Has anyone managed to install the usb driver properly in Windows 7 rc1 beta ?

It gives a "Operating System not supported" message with the vista driver. However, it does install after a fashion in recommended settings, but the there is no control panel icon for adjusting I/O etc.

i used their virtual xp add in but you still cant select vg99 output after install so it doesnt work unless you go the whole virtual pc route.

It was the ASIO thing more than anything else that I needed.

Then again, I doubt my old Cubase SE3 will go.

I gave up and reported it to MS as an incompatible application. :(

1st off.. you CAN'T on the 64-bit version of Win7-RC1.
I have not tried on the 32-bit release, but I'd bet the install is looking for a Win version number < 7.0  :)

Who said anything about W7 64 ?  ::)

I don't think it's just a <7 issue, as the OS itself will help you around that via it's compatability settings (I had to fool Vista the same way with my old Cubase SE3 which now works OK with Vista).

The driver does install. It just doesn't give you an icon or any ASIO adjustments.

I just assumed that anyone going Win7 RC would be doing so on a 64-bit system [these days]. LOL
My bad...  ::)

A lot of people say there is a bit (or 31) missing with me  ;D

Seriously, I thought there would be more people trying their VG99 with W7.

I've got to the point in my IT career where I just don't deal with the hassle of MS RC software  !!
Been there, done that, many times.
BTW - I'm a MSDN Universal dood, so I have lots access !

I'll wait until after SP1 is released and they have valid upgrade paths, etc. in place..

The VG99 driver isn't the only thing that won't install in Windows 7 32bit RC1 beta.  Lots of stuff at work fails to operate,
even stuff that was more or less ported over to Vista when THAT wouldn't work a year and three quarters ago. 

 ::)

Yeah, some pain here for sure.

I imagine Roland are WELL aware of this, or at least most companies provided with pre-release OS versions.

So will the 32 bit version of the driver work too ?

I'm on my way to somewhere, but I'll try the 32bit version tonight or tomorrow.

 Use the Vista driver. It works.
 Just unpack it totally to some folder and run it.

Sorry to tell you, but the vista driver for the VG99 doesn't work properly on Windows 7.
That's why we're discussing using the Vista driver for the UA4FX .

Is that what you meant ?

  I didnĀ“t manage to install it at first but after unpacking the vista folder to some temp folder it installed okay and works.

What driver are we talking about here Stag ?
Is it the vg99 vista driver (which won't work properly), or the UA4FX ?

I tried to follow direction to install the UA-4FX drivers on Win7 x64 Ultimate RTL, or the Vista64 drivers and NEITHER will install. Both tell me that I have the "wrong" version of Windows, so not sure how folks are getting to even do the initial install !!


OK.. so solution is to right-click on the setup.exe and run in "Vista 64 SP2 compatibilty mode" as administrator.
Then follow existing directions... !
