Post by mtrax » 10 July 11 12:01 pm

hi, just incase other people have come across this issue, I'm trying to install the free coutours 5m from XP to Windows 7, but the setup program doesn't appear to work.
I downloaded from this site ( http://www.lizarddrinking.net/ ) a year or two ago..
Perhaps the windows 7 location has move .. any hints out there?

Did you try running the installer in compatibility mode for Windows XP?

Solved but I think the issue was a missing file but I manually installed the required registry entries, so all back up and running
