So far I've successfully installedIntralink M060 on two Windows 7 machines. One Enterprise & one Home Premium, both 64 bit. The Win7 Enterprise version went in without a hitch. Getting a 64 bit VPN client was the real problem. The Home Premium was very difficult. I used every trick I could dig out of this forum & it still would not go. However what finally did it is simply setting the performance to best... as in System, Advanced system settings, Advanced tab, Performance settings button, & clicking the "Adjust for best performance". Suddenly it worked! I'm not saying that the only thing I had to do, I may never know, but that was the final thing that made it work.
What I am thinking is that there some of the features in Win7 (Areo?) keep java from running properly but I am just guessing. With my Enterprise version of Win7 I had already thoroughly tweaked itwhen following the set-up guides to maximize the performance of my solid state drives. That may be why Intralink just worked.
All I can say is search this forum for every post on Intralink & Win7 (& Vista for that matter) & try those fixes. However, try my fix first, turnit to the best performance (turning off all the animations & special effects stuff). Good luck & please let us know how it all goes.

Eric,
Here where I work, we have been running Wildfire 4.0 M120 and Intralink 3.4 M062 on Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit) machines for over 6 months with few problems.
If you do a search through the archives, there are a couple of previous threads that list all of the changes that need to be made for Intralink to work properly (Wildfire 4 after datecode M80 or M90 was designed for Vista, so it works on Win7). The big thing to remember if you want ALL of your functionality is for there to be no spaces in the file location of your loadpoint (ie, C:\ptc\proewildfire4.0\). WF will want to install with a space in it's name by default, so keep an eye out for that.
If you cannot find the previous threads, let me know and I will dig up my notes and share them!
