      hey nice testing

      but i can say that 64bit is very buggy
      my 32bit answer file is added very stable

    • #50855

      Would this install to an android tablet or ipad or something? has anyone gotten it working on such devices?

    • #50856

      no its based on windows 7

    • #50857

      I know it is. I just want to know if you can install it on such devices.

    • #50858

      if u have drivers for those that will work with win7 then its possible to make it work

        Drivers-schmivers. The bigger problem is the CPU architecture – the iPad uses an ARM processor while Windows Embedded 7 is only available for the x86 and x64 architectures. If you really want to run Windows on any iGadget, I think your best bet might be Windows CE.

      • #50860

        Windows CE isn’t all that great. It powers my Magellan brand GPS and it crashes all the time.

          I didn’t say it was great. It is, after all, 13 years old now. My point was that it’s (to the best of my knowledge, at least) the last version of Windows Embedded to run on ARM processors (edit: excepting Windows Mobile, of course).

          By the way, a quick search shows a few ways to turn an iPad into a thin client connecting to, and controlling, a remote installation of Windows 7. It’s not exactly what you’re asking for since you’re not actually installing Windows on the iPad, but they might be of interest to you nonetheless:

          Yes, but it depends on having network access 24/7. I’d like a local solution. * sigh *

            Then I guess you’re out of luck. As far as the iPad is concerned, at least. Android can run on the x86 architecture, so if you can find a tablet with an x86 CPU, it might be able to run WE7.

            Going over the list of current and future Android tablets, most use a Snapdragon, Rockchip, Tegra or other ARM-based CPU, but there’s at least one that’s sporting an Intel Atom. Generally, though, x86 CPUs are currently too energy-inefficient to really become a viable option in the tablet/MID market.

            Well then MS needs to make a win7 or win8 build for those devices then. Windows mobile 7 is a joke.

            you have no idea…

            I only wish they would have taken WM6/6.1/6.5/6.5.x and used the updated WinCE 6 core instead of going with “WP7” for the whole thing… its a mirror example of no DirectX 10-11 support for XP… (WM6.5/1 for life! fuck the ugly looking UI for WP7)

          • #50866

            Hello,
            Can anyone successfully extract the Standard_7_64bit.part1.exe (from this link) after downloading (all parts, of course) it?
            I always get an “Bad CRC” error when I try to extract it. I also tried to re-download it and extract it using 7-zip and WinRar, but no dice… 🙁

          • #50867

            i downloaded long ago didnt had any problem

          • #50868

            got mine from MSDN, so dont know…

            but I gotta say, this sounds all kinds of sexy for a SERVER setup… I mean only put what is necessary on the system, super small, super tiny blueprint!

            just need the proper network and framework constructs and you got yourself an almost comparable to linux (size) server!

            (I host my TeamSpeak3 server, my various Source engine servers, including TF2/CS:S/L4D, some EnB EMU server, and some WoW private server, if I can get this to work and ditch my S2k8R2… SWEET!)

            Could you guys upload the x64 Runtime ISO somewhere and give me a link to it? Please… 🙁

              I downloaded all the x64 files from the link you provided, and indeed, if you try to unpack the exe using 7-zip (as I always do) it fails with a crc-checksum error. However, if you just run the .part1.exe and extract it, it extracts without any errors. Verifying the sha1-checksum (e35b9a1b935d87df49ebd8f6bab801ed205f2583) of the extracted file Standard_7_64bit.iso, it turns out that it has been extracted without any problems! I agree, it is strange, but apparently it is the solution. 😛

              Here are the direct download links again, including the sha1-hashes for each file individually to check whether each file has been downloaded without any errors.

              IIRC, if you are using 7Zip you must do it on “part1″…

              I grab StargateUniverse since its airing, when I used to try to extract it from any other RAR then 0/1/named it threw the corrupt message (sometimes depending on archive type, rar 7z zip)

              cheers

                That’s right, I also did that with these files, but during the extraction when switching to .part2.rar it stops with error CRC failed in ‘Standard_7_64.iso’. File is broken.

                If possible make sure the files you are extracting from are correct by checking the checksums against the original if available, and otherwise check if the sizes (in bytes) are equal if they have been split up like this one. The .exe might be a little larger because of is extraction logic within the archive.

                I have extracted many splitted files using various applications in my life before, but never ran into anything like this where just following the instructions at the download page solves the problem:


                Download the .exe and .rar files for each DVD image into its own folder and run the .exe file in that folder to reconstitute the .ISO file.

                Hm, that’s strange…
                I also get “crc error” if I try to extract it using original exe.
                I’ll try to redownload it. Thank you guys for your help!

                  I just checked the files using your checksums and found out that parts 4, 5 and 6 are bad.
                  So I re-downloaded these parts.
                  Problem fixed, thank you Arris!

                    btw. Did you guys notice that MS has added Windows Embedded Standard 7 to the DreamSpark?
                    The bad news is that they probably forgot to add the cd-key so it’s a trial version (same as you can download directly from MS site). 🙁

                    If you need the x86/x64 Runtimes and x86 Toolkit ISO’s, let me know I have them.

                    Yep. They take it down because of the missing cd-keys.
                    They mentioned they’ll add it again soon along with the cd-keys but they didn’t add it yet. 😕
