Are there any issues with running Aritculate on a W7 64 bit PC?

Dec 31, 2011

I recently purchased a Lenovo W520 ThinkPad Laptop running Windows 7 Professional with a 64 bit OS. I also have Office 2007 which runs in 32 bit mode. I need to install Articulate and need to know if it will run correctly on my PC with this configuration. Any pointers or war stories are appreciated.

Thanks

My "day job" issued a new laptop to me - it is a Lenovo T520, running Windows 7 and MS Office 2010.  I am having issues with the LicenseInstaller.exe failing during install.

I found this article: http://windows7center.com/news/fix-windows-7-data-corruption-issues-on-lenovo-and-hp-systems/.  However, I am not running on the drivers they listed.

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi Charity!

Which version of Office are you installing? Microsoft released a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of Office 2010. Microsoft recommends installing the 32-bit version and Articulate Presenter '09 will only work with the 32-bit version. Presenter '09 also will not work with the Click To Run version of PowerPoint 2010. For more information, please review the following article:

Hey Patrick,

There's also a known issue with Comodo, if you're running that by any chance. If you install Articulate Studio ‘09 on a computer using Comodo Internet Security, you may find that none of the Articulate applications will launch, and you may encounter the following error:

"InstallLicense.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."

You can correct this issue.  Here’s how:
