Anyone got Windows 7 and iLok to work?

[joris de man]

Just did a fresh install of W7 x64, which I've been testing for a few weeks on my mackbook pro...works like a charm and seems to be everything that Vista should have been (not that it was terrible, just a bit fiddly).

So far, got my fireface 400 and liquidmix to work, my emu 1820 as OS audio card and even Windows' own Easy Transfer did a good job of getting all my settings across.

However, I can't get iLok to install; which could be a bit of a showstopper.
The error it comes up with is this:


(image is from someone else, but I get the same error; I am however installing the x64 version)

Tried installing as admin, with xp compatibillity, but unfortunately no go...

A shame because everything else so far works like a charm!

Cheers,

Joe

Google was my friend...
To answer my own question (copied from another forum):

For W7 32-bit:

Run the iLok installer as far as it will go. It will stop half way because the installer is broken in W7. Reboot. Go to Device Manager, right click on the ilok(s) and install manually from there. The directory path to browse for the driver is C > Program Files > PACE Anti-Piracy > iLok > iLokDrvr > then select the driver and continue the install. Reboot.

For W7 64-bit:

• Install the iLok64-bit driver as far as it will go then reboot the computer.
• Search for iLokdrvr64
• Click on the iLokdrvr64 folder.
• A window will open with the directory path.
• Go to Device Manager.
• Right Click the iLok.
• Update Driver Software.
• Browse my computer for driver software.
• Browse to the directory path above and hit Next and the following steps should be straight forward.
• Reboot.

We've successfully transferred iLok auths onto the iLok and also had Pro Tools recognize iLok based plug-ins in Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit running Pro Tools 8.0. We confirmed this on PC's and Mac via bootcamp.

This worked for me, so hopefully it will work for you...
