From the mailing list, (different users)

- Gli from start menu didn't work, but from command line it did. windows 7, 2.83. java 1.6
- In our case, we had some Win 7 machines work, but 1 didn't. The one that didn't was Win 7 Ultimate, not sure what the other were, or the version is related or not.

Testing on Windows 7 machines both 64-bit and 32-bit around department went smoothly. The situation can be confusing if the software was installed as admin and then run as a regular user. The error report for this situation in Greenstone/GLI was not at all clear. Sam has done some work improving the situation. If Greenstone finds it is not able to run as a regular user, it triggers the "raise elevation" mechanism that Windows (as of Vista) now provides.
