    I have been trying to reconfigure my ASUS F3Sa to run Windows 7 with all of the features I was able to use running Vista. While all of my hardware is recognized and installed, I cannot use it as I would like. I have had a very difficult time trying to install Infineon TPM software. The latest version, 3.5, which is advertised as Vista compatible, advances through the installation process and then fails. When it fails, the install program reports Error 1722. Strangely, an out-of-date version, 3.0.1, installs with no problems.

    Any suggestions? I would like to run the more up-to-date version.

    A broader question: do I need Infineon's TPM software to use the TPM in Windows 7? I see BitLocker is included with this RC. Does BitLocker accomplish the same thing?

    did you try installing it in vista compatible mode

    i think infineon TPM has more features because BitLocker only does drive encryption

    I believe you need to install both versions. I don't think you can install just v3.5 without v3.0.1. I tried that on Vista and Windows 7 and had the same error. After installing v3.5 on top of v3.0.1, everything's fine.
