    Im trying to install Win 7 AIK in windows 7 enterprise 64 bit, now the problem is when i try to install it, it says "The version of the file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running" then check to see wether you need a 32 or 64bit file... But the file is 64bit and so is the os. So why isnt it installing?

    I tried it on my host machine and it starts to install fine but i want it in virtual box. So any ideas?

    I assume you saw this: "System requirements for installing Win 7 AIK

    Supported operating systems: Windows 7 Service Pack 1"

    This says nothing about installing in a virtual box so maybe that is a limitation of that software.

    Ive just managed to sort it, turns out my usb stick must have corrupted the file as ive re downloaded it and its now working. Sorry, but btw it does work in virtual box.
