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

	Avanti isn't fully compatible with Windows 7. The most common issues are;
	Failing to launch. Failing to show output when you start a process and various
	issues with the "Job Control Manager" (batch processing). In general this
	behaviour varies depending on the chosen install path. It are not bugs in
	Avanti that could be easily fixed but incompatibility issues with the
	Windows 7 OS that are very hard to trace.

	You can however run Avanti on Windows 7 if you are willing to spend some time
	on installation and follow the next suggestions ...

	General notes for all Windows 7 versions;

	Always run Avanti from a desktop shortcut where you empty the "Start in" field.

	The Avanti Install path should not exceed a total length of 256 characters
	including file names.



	Windows 7 (32-bit).
	===================

	Start to run Avanti in the native Windows 7 mode. If still issues, right-click
	on the "Avanti-GUI.exe" executable, select the compatibility tab and try the
	"Windows XP SP2" compatibility mode.



	Windows 7 x64 (64-bit).
	=======================

	According to the Microsoft recommendations, 32-bit applications should be
	installed in the preserved "Program Files (x86)" folder. You can find this folder
	in the root of your boot drive. You are free to use any arbitrary name for the
	folder you create there for Avanti.

	Use a full 32-bit tool chain i.e. do not use a 64-bit FFmpeg and/or Avisynth
	version. There is hardly any gain in speed with 64-bit versions (some reported
	it's even slower). For speed you need more cores.
