    I just got home with Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition and it's not letting me install the game on the Windows 7 beta 1. Though it technically isn't supported I surley wasn't expecting it to not install specially considering I just read about a guy who was playing in Windows 7. When I try and install it it tells me that "Setup Launcher Has Stopped Working" and that my only solution is to close the program. I have tried all of the compatibility modes, disabled DEP, and run it in Admin mode. What else can I do? I'm shocked that this game isn't installing on Windows 7!

    Hmm, not sure what the problem is.... what level UAC are you using? I have mine set to the lowest level, not sure if that has anything to do with it, but FSX and the expansion pack both installed and run perfectly fine on my machine as well.
