Sims.net on Windows 7 64bit updating each start

[samtayuk]

Sims.net tries to update every time its loaded up on windows 7 64bit.

 

Seems to be trying to install simscentralserver, not sure why this is need for a work station.

 

Can anyone give me any ideas?

How have you guys got SIMS to work on x64 Windows 7?

 

Every time I install it on my test machine, it fails when it tries to install the 16-bit components. I vaguely remember something about a fix from Capita, but I'm getting old now and my memory isn't what it used to be..........

I turn off the UAC then run:

SIMSApplicationSetup.exe /S {QuietMode} {NoServerApps} [sIMSDotNetDirectory]="%PROGRAMFILES%\SIMS\SIMS.net"

 

Seems to run great.

I found help here:

Everything works except T4. I have UAC on and it runs fine. I think you will find the UAC is prompted by it trying to update one of the sims.ini or other ini files in the program files or windows folder.
