accu-chek 360 diabetes software will not install on windows 7. I contacted their technical support and they are working on windows 7 version but didn't know when it would be released. I'm currently using it on my wife's xp computer however it is with limited access. I really want to use it on my own computer.
First thought was to use virtual pc xp mode however my hardware doesn't support it. I'm looking for suggestions.
I'm thinking maybe I can get a third party virtual pc or virtual hard drive and install my oem copy of vista home basic on it.
Don't know if this reinstall oem disc would work in this situation.
dell inspiron 1545 laptop
3g memory
160g hard drive (100g avail)
windows 7 enterprise(32b)
thanks,

You must copy the the file folder from CD 2 to the External Software folder on your hard drive:
Place cd 2 in cd drive and copy the content from the external software folder of CD 2 to the external software folder in you folder that you created
So in the External Software folder under your Accu-check folder on your hard drive you should have 2 folders
Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader
I have the answer,
5. Use orca to edit the msi file in the file folder you copied all the files to from the CD's ( ACCU-CHEK 360.msi). look for launchcondition and make sure all of this is in there especially the last part or (versionNT=601) as thats what will allow you to install under Win 7 this is how it should look when you are done... (VersionNT = 500 AND ServicePackLevel >= 4) OR (VersionNT = 501 AND ServicePackLevel >= 2) OR (VersionNT = 502 AND ServicePackLevel >= 1)OR (VersionNT = 600) OR (VersionNT = 601)DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE!!!
Do a "save as" and over wright the ACCU-CHEK 360.msi file in the file folder on your PC
Run the setup.exe from the file folder you copied all the files to and follow the install instructions... i have successfully intalled on 3 different win 7 PC's you will need to put in your activation key witch is on the back of the book that the CDs are in lower right very small hard to read but it is there.
You can copy the contents of your file folder to a DVD or flash drive and use that to install on other PC's if you want.
you are all welcome....
Hi george1009,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers.
****As you have already contacted the manufacturer for details I would suggest you to stay in touch with them and then install the latest version on Windows 7.
The reinstall OEM disc would not help. The reinstall Vista OEM disc would set the computer back to factory shipped condition. The software is also not listed as compatible with Windows Vista at any stage. For more information about vista compatibility with the software it would be better to take assistance from the manufacturer.
Also, using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers and software can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using Third Party Software is at your own risk.
Hope this helps. Let us know the results.
Thanks,

thanks for the reply.
I have been using this software on my wife's xp computer and the software works ok. There is a small glitch in the printouts of one of the graphs otherwise ok.
It is a big irritant to me to have to go into another room to do my insulin and carb inputs. It would be a lot easier to use my laptop to do this.
I thought about setting up a dual boot configuration but seems too much trouble right now for one program. Might not work anyway as the program may not be compatable with modern hardware and drivers. This is the only program I have that won't work on 7.
I've been looking at the usb contour meter but it isn't listed as 7 compatible. (would have to pay for my test strips) This type of device would suit my needs very well.
Anyway I hope that accu-chek will hurry up before I pull my hair out.
thanks again,
george
Hello George,
I also have the same problem as you with Windows 7 and Accu-Chek 360 Software. I already attempted it with Virtual XP mode and it didn't work. I am going to try to contact Accu-Chek to see what all they are checking with the installation software.
