Hi Firelance,

The Sony eReader software runs fine under Windows 7 x64.
Just installing was a pain (also on Vista, I've read. It's not very x64 friendly). The trick is to extract the executable using the /a parameter (elsewhere on the forum). Then run the extracted exe file. It will create a bunch of files and directories. You can move these to the c:\program files (x86) directory.
Also, you will have to create the shortcut yourself. Running in Vista compatibility mode might be wise to do, at least as a precaution.
Just a small remark when creating the shortcut: the .exe file is in the Sony\Reader\Data\Bin directory. Not quite Windows standard...

Kind regards,

Geri
