	Avanti on Windows 7.
	====================

	Avanti is a 32-bit (x86) application, originally developped for Windows 2000
	and currently checked out on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 7 (32-bit).
	Because of its complexity and third party dependencies, we currently are not
	able to release a fully compatible version for Windows 7.

	Although the latest Avanti releases fix a number of compatibility issues,
	it still needs to be set up with some care to run succesfully on Windows 7.


	Windows 7 (32-bit).

	Should you encounter problems, try to first set the application to the
	"Windows XP SP3" or "Windows 7" (from the list) compatibility mode.
	It appears that the Avanti install path is a critical issue on Windows 7
	and it often helps to change the install directory "name" a bit by making
	it a few characters longer or shorter.
	
	Note that the problem is common but the solution may differ with every new
	Avanti version. You may need to repeat the above procedure when you upgrade
	or revert.
	

	Windows 7 x64 (64-bit).

	Most of what's mentioned above for the 32-bit version might also be applicable on
	Windows 7 x64 (not checked). Additionally the 64-bit version expects 32-bit
	applications to be installed in a by the Windows OS preserved folder named ...
	"Program Files (x86)". You can find this folder in the root of your boot drive.
	You are free however to use any arbitrary name for the folder you create there
	for Avanti.
