Hi David.
Yes, CW5.1 support 64bit win7.
1. Do you have admin right of your win7? Please make sure you have admin right.
2. please try to install CW in a selfdefined folder. for example D:\CW5_1
3.regarding to the Windows 7 system, I would also highly recommend installing the Service Pack 1.
we got some reports of installation issue on Windows 7 without SP1. These problems solved after installation of SP1.
4. please disable all the virus defender and firewall during install.
5. some users have install problem if no win7 SP1 installed. please install win7 SP1.
6. below steps are to fix CW and win7 compatibility problem:
- Right click IDE.exe in the \bin folder.
- Select “Properties”
- Select “Compatibility”
- Select “Change settings for all users”
- Select “Run this program in compatibility mode for”
- Select “Windows Vista” from pull down menu
- Select “Disable visual themes” & “Disable desktop composition” &” Disable display scaling on high DPI settings”.
- Do NOT select “Run in 256 colors” & “Run in 640x480 screen resolution”.
- Hit OK.
7. if the problem persists, I suggest you try win7 xp mode. See below:
