Re: Installing CA on W7 64bit

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It does matter, however, if you are using a 7.1 virtual loaner and don't 
have your own media - and downloading the directories and using that to 
install did not work - sigh!

So I went back to putting 6.1 on from media we do have - EIM management 
has a couple problems, will be getting the latest PTF.

Do I recall some Microsoft thing that has to be done for 6.1 and up?

Later
