From a previous post:
Yes Vantage will run fine on Windows 7 64bit. Just follow these instructions (watch for wrapping):
The following setup instructions work for Vista and Windows 7, 32 or 64 bit. They're an amalgam of tips collected from this mailing list. This will get you the 4GL client and a working ODBC connection. You will need to set ODBC security appropriately for your installation (this assumes default).
1. Make folder C:\VNTGWORK, set rights EVERYONE:FULL
2. Run V:\prgs91d\netsetup\setup.exe (assuming "V:" is your epicor share)
-Working directory: C:\VNTGWORK
3. Run V:\mfgsys61\OCX\InstOCX.exe
4. Import these registry settings for help fix:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\itssRestrictions] "MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000003
5. Import this registry setting for Vista & Windows 7 help fix:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"UrlAllowList"="V:\\mfgsys61\\HELP\\vnhelp_enu.chm;file://;<file:///\\;><file:///<file:///\\>\\;\> [file://;<file:///\\;> <file:///<file:///\\>\\;\> ]"
6. Run %windir%\system32\odbcad32.exe
For 64-bit Win7 Run %windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
7. On System DSN tab, click "Add", Select "Merant 3.60 32-BIT Progress", click "Finish"
8. Use the following parameters (type Exactly As Below!):
Data Source Name: PROGRESS
Description: Vantage by Epicor
Host Name: [your vantage server name]
Port Number: [your configured odbc port number]
Database name: [your configured database name, "usually mfgsys"]
User ID: sysprogress
9. Click "Apply
10. Click "Advanced" tab, set isolation level to "Read Uncommitted" and array size to 500
11. Test connection (PASSWORD: sysprogress), click OK to exit ODBC admin

I could not find any instructions in this user group. We are having the same problem with getting 6.1 to work in win 7 64 bit. If anyone has the steps to do so that would be great as I have tried about everything I can think of.
Thanks

The setup is a bit different as is the ODBC setup (must be done from an admin command prompt and you use c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32 (we usually have to map to the Epicor share manually first using a 'net use' commmand) - but it does seem to work well. There are instructions in this Yahoo group somewhere I believe...
