Brandy redux -> PM 16: Installing PrintMaster 16 on Windows 7 (11/22/2009 3:06:30 PM) The most important thing to keep in mind about installing PrintMaster 16 on any computer is that PrintMaster 16 requires that .NET Framework 1.1 be installed on the hard drive before PrintMaster 16 is installed. (PrintMaster cannot work with any other version of .NET Framework.) So, the first thing that the PrintMaster 16 installation process will look for is whether or not .NET Framework 1.1 is installed. If .NET Framework 1.1 is not installed, it will be installed from the PrintMaster 16 install disk before PrintMaster 16 is installed. 32-bit version of Windows 7: When a ‘clean’ install is done of PrintMaster 16, exactly as described in this FAQ 'Clean' Install on Win98/Me/XP/2000/Vista/Win7 PrintMaster 16 will install on a 32-bit version of Windows 7, with only one possible incident. The "Program Compatibility Assistant” in Windows 7 will display a message which says, "This program has known compatibility issues". To continue with the installation, select "Run Program". There is one known incompatibility with PrintMaster 16 on Windows 7. It is not possible to use the Save As PDF option – because the version of Broderbund PDF Converter which is included with PrintMaster 16 is not compatible with Windows 7. And, PrintMaster 16 is not able to use the Broderbund PDF Creator 3.0 which is installed with later versions of PrintMaster. Attempts to use the Save As PDF option in PrintMaster 16 will result in one or more of the following error messages: “Error in product configuration. Startup.cfg file not found.” "Error opening HKLM with ALL ACCESS - setting up the registry!" “Unable to initialize the PDF printer driver. Try re-installing.” Attempts to install the Broderbund PDF Converter will fail. The only way to create PDF documents with PrintMaster 16 on Windows 7 would be to download and install an alternate PDF converter, as is described in this pinned item Save as PDF vs File | Print to PDF

Brandy redux -> RE: Installing PrintMaster 16 on Windows 7 (1/29/2010 6:12:50 PM) 64-bit version of Windows 7: When a ‘clean’ install is done of PrintMaster 16, exactly as described in this FAQ 'Clean' Install on Win98/Me/XP/2000/Vista/Win7 PrintMaster 16 should install on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, with one incident. 1. If .NET Framework 1.1 is not already installed on the computer, the "Program Compatibility Assistant” in Windows 7 will display this message [image]local://upfiles/10488/63B2AE9EC637465483CACCDE1DD2EEC0.jpg[/image] To continue with the installation, select "Run Program". After .NET Framework 1.1 is installed, the necessary updates will be pulled from the Microsoft Windows Update Service. When you use PrintMaster 16, you will find that the Save As PDF option doesn't work - because the Broderbund PDF Creator that is included with PrintMaster 16 is not compatible with either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version of Windows 7. So, the only way to create PDF documents with Print Shop 20 on Windows 7 would be to download and install an alternate PDF converter, as is described in this pinned item Save as PDF vs File | Print to PDF And, you will not be able to access online projects and graphics by using either the 'More Projects' tab of the Project Gallery or the 'More Art & Photos' tab of the Art Gallery - because the online projects and graphics are no longer accessible by PrintMaster 16. But, this does not have anything to do with Windows 7 - because the online projects and graphics are no longer accessible by PrintMaster 16 with any Operating System.
