Hey all, this is just to let you know some stuff right quick pertaining to Windows 7.
I've upgraded from Vista to 7, and so far everything works pretty much the way it used to, with a few exceptions.
1-Ivan's kitchen HAS to be run as administrator NO MATTER WHAT in order for the ROM to be built. If you just run it as a user it will error out on you near the end of the building process. Im not sure what error it is, because on my system it simply closes and Windows comes up with a dialog about it encountered an illegal error. This was not present in Vista for me at least, I hope it helps.
2-RUU's work in much the same way they did on XP and Vista. Nothing needs to be done in order to run them and successfully flash a ROM that we haven't been doing already. Just connect your phone, double click and flash.
3-HardSPL now requires one more step. If you are using the new Microsoft Security Essentials anti-virus suite, it will detect the HardSPL files as a trojan for whatever reason. You need to simply disable this program before you download the package in order for HardSPL to work. Nothing else is required.
Basically what I am trying to say is that if anyone out there has been holding off from upgrading to Windows 7 in fear that you won't be able to flash or cook or whatever, that I believe all is well. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate X64, and i've had no more problems then what I have listed here.
I hope this helps someone, and if you guys have any 7 related questions, please feel free to ask!
