Windows 7?

[bombpersons]

Is anyone using UDK on Windows 7? I'm planning on upgrading, but I'm not sure if UDK will run on Windows 7 (the site mentions vista, so I'm assuming it won't have too many problems).

Thanks =D

I'm on 64-bit Pro, and have no issues.

[talent3d]

We have a few known issues with Windows 7, like e.g. with UAC enabled and non-admin users and installing to the C:\ drive, though it can be made to work.

Andre, does running UDK-INSTALL-DIR\Binaries\Windows\UE3Redist.exe manually help?

i'm also getting the same error "VCRedist x86 failed to install". i have unziped it and doing it manually UDK-INSTALL-DIR\Binaries\Windows\UE3Redist.exe and still get the same error message "VCRedist x86 failed to install"

[Daniel Vogel]

What error do you get trying to run the game and/ or editor after the manual "install"?

[Revenator]

i can run that game after i have unziped the file UDKInstall-2009-11-BETA. but any installing i get the error VCRedist x86 failed to install

Running Windows 7 x64 ultimate, but I have trouble installing. It just quits at random points in the installation.

I tried installing as administrator and on another disk than C:, but no luck.
Also tried downloading from different locations...

I was wondering if there maybe is a problem having ATI graphics card? Considering the Nvidia PhysX drivers being installed?

Any tips?

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, ATI 2900 card & Physx installed

No problems installing or using it so far.

Wow, didn't expect this much of a response 0.o

I'm glad most people have it working in windows 7. Looks like it will work =D Thanks for all the replies =)

No problems very fas actually, win 7 RC 64.
actually win 7 update installed new nvidia graphic card drivers and everyhing is fast.

[Havoc89]

I have RC1 Windows 7 64bit, and have not had any issues so far. Works great for me.

Windows 7 x86 here. The installer was constantly generating the "Stopped responding" crash. This was fixed by setting the installer to windows vista compatibility. No problems since then.

Feztec, are you using the default settings when installing?

You shouldn't be installing to just C:\. Installing to C:\UDK\UDK-2009-11 is the intended install path.

[Keyframe]

You can also try installing with UAC disabled

[AaronJones]

Yes, ideally you want to be Admin with UAC disabled - installing to a valid path. If that still doesn't work, make sure all drivers are up to date, and restart.

YAY, I finally got it installed.

Thanks for all the latest tips.

AaronJones, previously I was installing to the default map path, only not the C disk.
I turned off UAC, restarted and installed as Administrator.
First onto another disk than C, then on C (with the default map path).

Everyting worked this time.

Got some great ideas I wanna see if I can make. Wohoo!

win 7 rc1 x64 here. editor crashes when i load texterues. speed tree is also not starting. turn off uac and all other stuff is also instaled

[Jazz]

x64, installation and demo work fine (UAC turned off in respect to anti-virus)

[zipstick]

Win 7 with GTX 295. Install goes clean. All loads from splash look normal, but I get bluescreen on start up the actual editor.

Feel I've tried everything..
