[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1300210, member: 141969"] I used the 32-bit version of MP on 32-bit Windows 7 for releases up to MP 1.31, performing an upgrade install for each successive release. I skipped MP 1.32 as it has some difficulties, due to being a mixture of 32-bit and 64-bit. I then installed 64-bit Windows 7 and performed a first-time install of 64-bit MP 1.33, which I am still running today. I don't have any problems with this, but I should point out that I use only the plugins that are included with the base distribution -- I don't use any optional plugins (which may not be available in 64-bit versions). When installing or upgrading MP, I always have the internet connected. From your post I get the impression that you downloaded the needed components, and then tried to install MP with the internet not connected. Others have tried this in the recent past, and found that it does not work. That does not mean that it cannot be made to work, if you can diagnose the problems and identify how to fix them. But the simple solution is to install MP with the internet connected. I have not tested MP 1.34 on Windows 7, so there may be problems with a first-time install of MP 1.34. But I think that if you have a working MP 1.33 on Windows 7, you should be able to perform an upgrade install from MP 1.33 to MP 1.34 (provided that you have the internet connected). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
