Lol, what did you expect??

Looks like a missing .NET control.

Better then the feedback from my contact at Capita - BSOD.

I believe dev has only just started so you'll have a long wait!

How can you expect any less :P its a Beta version of Windows and... SIMS!!! lol

[danrhodes]

Just LOL! I wasn;t expecting it to work. This post has come as no surprise!

Have you tried a reboot?

Windows 7 includes .NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 but not 1.0 or 1.1

Maybe a component of SIMS requires the older version? 2.0 can run apps designed for 1.0 but there's no substitute for the real thing. Why not try installing the older version and see if that solves it?

Someone got WAAAAY to much time to waste.

All versions installed - still getting the same error..

[matt40k]

You sound surprised.

[Gatt]

Nah not really... kinda expected it really

I would say if your sad enough and have enough time to contact Capita and ask to be included in the testing of the Windows 7 and SIMS. However seeming as Mr Wood hasn't even updated his current set of documents, I doube we'll see Windows 7 appearing on the roadmap for sometime (thus no Windows 7 version of SIMS anytime soon).
