How to make Logmein work with Windows 7


How to use LogMeIn Free with Windows 7 Beta/RC:

1. Download the LogMeIn software to your desktop from this site: https://secure.logmein.com/logmein.zip

2. Unzip the folder to a new folder on your desktop named “logmein”.

3. Go to the start menu and search for “cmd. When you find the Command Prompt entry, right click it and select “Run as Administrator”, and Click through the warning prompt.

4.In command prompt type “cd\users\\desktop\logmein\x86” without quotes and press enter. (If you are running 64-bit Windows change the ‘x86′ to ‘x64′)

5. In command prompt type “logmein install” without quotes and press enter.

6. The installer will run and you should then see the tray icon when it’s finished. Right click on the icon and select “Open LogMeIn…

7. Firefox will open and you’ll get an error box. Just click “OK“.

8. Copy and paste this address into the address bar: https://127.0.0.1:2002/

9. Click through if you get a popup warning you about a certificate. On the page itself you will see something to allow an exception. Click on that and then click ‘Get Certificate‘ in the next box. Again you will probably get another warning but just click add anyway.

10. You should see the familiar LogMeIn screen. Just put in your computer user credentials and then you will be asked for your LogMeIn credentials.

It is a pretty straightforward process, but does take a bit of workaround to get it setup. Hopefully over the next few months LogMeIn will add support to Windows 7 for its installer package.

You ll be suprised when entering as you used to your username and password worked ok.
In Windows 7 if you use it this way u ll get this error message:
Error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. (1326)

REMEMBER to type the username like this

computername\username
password

Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) – download

The 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 RC are available in five languages: English, German, Japanese, French, and Spanish.

The RC will expire on June 1, 2010. Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. Penty of time till then.

Download

I already installed the new version of Windows 7.

First Impressions???

Didn’t have to install any drivers. (windows update did that for me, although everything work ok at First logo in)

Nice Design and overall responsiveness

All programs used in Vista worked ok in Windows 7.
The Only issue I had was with an ActiveX (logmein.com) (see next post). This problem was bypassed cause remote desktop connection work pretty well.

UAC Warning messages were fewer

Network and Sharing Center look better now (i can manually change the ip with no 2-3 UAC warnings !!! was very annoying)

Taskbar can hold easily 1o times more Apps with no problem. (tip: Shift + Click to open a new instance)

Visual Studio 2008 work ok with no problems
Adobe CS4 Suite work ok with no problems
Nero 9 work ok with no problems
WampServer 2 work ok with no problems

What are you vista ppl waiting for… give it a try
