I’m trying to install it on a pretty powerful Windows 7 desktop but it just seems impossible.
It was nagging about something being missing, downloaded from Microsoft and tried again, got a bit further now it’s upset about some Hotfix KB299926 problem. I downloaded again from Microsoft to be told “this update is not applicable to your computer”.
I’ve previously had same problem with my Win 7 laptop, despite updating everything known to man it still wouldn’t work.
I’m getting a bit tired of jumping through hoops.Does this thing actually work on Win 7?
Utterly fed up. Never known any program so difficult to install.
Your description of missing MS components is a bit vague. SU requires specific versions of .NET Framework and VC++. The SU installer examines the computer and will download and install missing components. Sometimes though, the required components aren’t installed and need to be installed separately. Also as SU17 requires hardware acceleration, your graphic driver’s support of OpenGL 3.0 is very important.
