Hi folks, anyone have the same problem as me? I downloaded the 3 files:-
setup1.box
setup2.box
Win7-P-Retail-en-us-x64.exe
now when i run the exe Win7-P-Retail-en-us-x64.exe
i get after unloading the box:-
we are unable to create or save new files in the folder in which this application was downloaded. Please check the folder properties to make sure that you have security permission on the folder to write files and that the folder is not read only.

I really cannot understand what is going wrong.

Thanks for any advice in advance.

I have the same problem mate. I ignored the error message as the folder had decompressed and it appears that all the files are there. I tried to install (just to test) over a Win Vista installation on my lappy and it works fine, I guess you just have to burn those files to a bootable dvd and take it from there? I've got the dvd coming as well just in case!

I have just sorted the problem out - copied the 3 files to my pen drive - booted my laptop - win7 rc copied to laptop desktop - run exe - all unpacked - now copying to my desktop to burn to disk.

strange - but all working now
