Is Carlson 2010 compatable with Windows 7 without local administrator rights? We are about to be pushed onto Windows 7, so I want to be sure I will still be able to do my job.

As far as I can tell, Carlson 2010 is not considered a legacy program by windows as I have not had any problems running it on our computers with windows 7 under a standard user account (no install privileges).

If for some unforeseen reason you do have problems just setup a new group policy to maintain functionality under standard accounts.

Thanks Eric. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. It is nearly impossible to get anything like that done around here. They are taking more and more control away from the people that really need it.

Autocad 2010 64 bit and Carlson 2010 seem to work fine in Windows 7 even though 64-bit machines are supported, but Carlson application itself is 32-bit.

Hopefully 2011 version will be 64 bit.

I have not had a problem running it in Windows 7 Ultimate.

Hi all,

I've installed ACAD MAP3D 2010 64 bit on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit OS without having a problem. I've also downloaded and installed Carlson 2010. During the installation everything was fine but when I started Carlson I got the following errors on command line of ACAD;

Customization file loaded successfully. Customization Group: CARLSON
Customization file loaded successfully. Customization Group: ACAD10TB

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could not use the menus etc.

I've already uninstalled and re-installed Carlson 2010 twice but nothing changed.

Is there any solution for that?

Thanks & Regards

Try right clicking on the icon you use to start Carlson and choose run as Administrator. We had that same error here on the same setup, and also on the 32 bit version. It appears that you only have to do that one time, after running as Admin one time, everything seems to be fine from there out just running as standard user
