Windows 7 and Stormfront

[Goretawn]

Anyone else running windows 7 have issues using stormfront? I keep getting an error about loading skin.skn. Not sure what is wrong with it.

It doesn't look like psinet is windows 7 friendly, or I am doing something very wrong.

When I was still playing I had no trouble running stormfront and Win7, I just had to launch the SGE as admin. I wasn't using Psinet though, because I didn't want my bike stolen.

I got that skin error once. I think I had to reinstall Stormfront.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, using Stormfront with both PSInet and Lich and I have yet to have a single problem.

As posted by Solomon (1/21/2010):

Simu-Myke has updated StormFront to install properly under Windows Vista and Windows 7 with no need for the user to mangle their UAC(User Account Control).

When installing the updated StormFront, the user will be prompted (regardless of Windows version) to restart Windows. In truth all you SHOULD need to do is close your browser and re-open it for it to work, but there is no way to force that via a Windows installer, so Windows goes overboard. (Imagine that!) ;)

New users who are installing SF for the first time won't notice any difference, current users and returning users who are reinstalling SF will likely notice the required restart.

Currently, this will be a voluntary update which you can get here: http://www.play.net/software/

Just click on the BETA link to get the new version.

Sometime next week, it will force an upgrade when you try to log in with SF.

Wow. What's going on with Simu?
