New PC’s and Win7

So, as I have blathered to many people, I just recently built a new PC for my father.

The physical construction went great, and I was able to get Win7 64-bit loaded on the first attempt.  The major malfunction, however, came when I tried to trust windows to do the restoring file copies..

VICTORY!

After literally five days of attempt, reformat, and re-attempt, I have succeeded in installing IQ.  Here are some brief metrics:

Number of Support Calls Placed to IQ: 3

Number of DVD’s shipped to my workplace: 4

Number of DVD’s shipped to my workplace that I actually needed: 2

Number of times I considered finding the author of a relevant technote, and strangling him: 16

Number of times a technote procedure worked on the first try: 1

Total System Re-Formats because it was just easier than trying to uninstall Oracle: 3

Yet, still, it’s better than Infor and it’s Trans4m….
