Anyone have luck getting Trimble Geomatics Office to work with Windows 7?
Got tips?
Yes. Search the postings on here by me. I asked the same question and that thread has the answers to make it happen. Remember it's a compatibility mode and administrator mode issue to get it to happen.
[msg=8299]Here is the thread in question[/msg]
I found this on the other board:
Instructions for installing Trimble Geomatics Office in a Windows 7 computer (tested with TGO v1.63 on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit system with 8 Gb RAM)
1)Insert TGO install disk in the drive. Cancel out of the canned install program when it starts.
2)Open Windows Explorer and view the contents of the disk in the CD/DVD drive.
3)Right-click on 'setup.exe' and select Properties from the popup menu.
4)On the Properties dialog, select the 'Compatibility' tab.
5)Enable 'Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows Xp (Service Pack 2)' Note: NOT Service Pack 3.
6)Enable 'Run this program as an administrator' (You will need to have admin rights on the computer)
7)Close the Properties dialog and double-click on 'setup.exe' to begin the TGO install. Use the default folders when prompted.
8)After the install is complete, download and install both 'Trimble Configuration Utility' and 'Data Transfer Utility' (the Windows Vista version) from the Trimble support site http://www.trimble.com/support.shtml
9)Download and install Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista (either the 32 bit or 64 bit version depending upon your operating system) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/ResultsForProduct.aspx?productID=093bc66e-ddbb-42c5-a6eb-ab7090c3e680&stype=n_a2z. When setting up devices for download (TSC2, GNSS receivers etc) configure them to use ActiveSync. It will be configured correctly.
Enjoy.

After install, will you have to have admin rights to run TGO?
Nope you will not need admin rights to run TGO after the install. You should only need admin rights to run the setup.exe on the install CD.
