I had the same problem few days back when I tried installing it on a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).
I think the problem was not with CW Skimmer but with OmniRig instead which comes bundled with Skimmer. At the end of installation it failed to access two registry keys due to its permissions being too restrictive. You could use Sysinternal's Process monitor and filter by the name of the installer utility and "ACCESS DENIED" while running the install of the OmniRig and it will find two registry keys in question. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx 73, Nick ve3ey On 8/25/2010 12:29 AM, Jim Campbell wrote: > I tried installing CW Skimmer on a Win 7 Professional (64-bit) laptop > but was unsuccessful.
