[Jan Schmoranzer]

Dear All

How can I make ImageJ compatible with the new operating system *Windows 7*?
Any chance?

Thanks,
Jan

Did you not forget to include something important in your mail?  Such as a
description how ImageJ is _not_ compatible with Windows 7?  Remember: not
everybody has (or for that matter, wants) Windows 7 on their computers.

Ciao,

Yep,

I assume if there is any problem with ImageJ on Windows 7 it is a general
Java problem - OR? What did you try?

Some quick googling turns out that from JRE 6.14 on, there should be no
more problems, alternatively, it seems, one needs
a "registered" copy of MSVCR71.dll in the system or Java folder via

regsvr32 C:\Windows\MSVCR71.dll

I've been using 7 on my Lenovo X61 for about a month and installed
Image J last week just to test it out.  It seems to run fine but I get
a notification that 'a running program in incompatible with some of
the visual effects of Windows 7'.  But I'm 99% sure that it's just
telling me that the normally translucent window borders in the OS will
not be that way with Image J.  It runs fine with no problems other
than that little notice.  Very quick compared to my imaging rig
attached to the scope!

One of ImageJ's great appeals is that it is very portable and easy to
install. This as aopposed to something like OpenCv which fights you every
step of the way. So, it's important to know know why it might have
problems with Vista and/or provide instructions with download on what to
do if its different than for XP.

You may want to check with the most up to date version. I installed
the WCIF package that I had saved in my backup drive.  It installed
without issue just as it does in XP.  In 7, and possibly Vista, the
Aero window appearance is one with translucent borders.  It's really
kind of a nice feature to sometimes just have a glimpse of the window
open behind.  It also gives a small screenshot when you scroll over an
application running but minimized to the taskbar.  I can check this
function when I get back home to the laptop.  My only test for it was
to open a JPEG, do some blurring, selection, drawing and simple
measurement of a selection.  All that worked ok.

I have ImageJ installed on Win7 (64-bit), all features (including the "new"
Win7 features) run perfectly ok, so far. What is the exact problem? Or is
there any? Was it just a question out of precaution?

Dear All

Thanks for your help: I still was not successful getting ImageJ to work on
Windows7.
I updated my Java, still no success.

This is the message I get when I try to start ImageJ under the newest
version in Windows 7:
*Fatal error: Could not launch ImageJ as configured. Please check settings
and try again.*

Where can I find the "new" Win7 features that Johannes P Koch suggested?

Any help is appreciated.

I am running imageJ on the 64-bit version of windows 7 just
fine.  

I recall on Vista I had a hard time getting it to run, and
the problem was with file/folder permissions.

The solution I found was to move the imageJ directory out of
the Program Files directory, and to make sure all files/
folders were accessible to all users.  Then imageJ ran just
fine.  Oddly, after I did that, I was able to move the imageJ
folder back into the Program Files directory and it has been
running fine since, even in Windows 7.
