A long needed reinstall on my work laptop. I previously had Vista, but downgraded to XP unwillingly cause support wouldn’t let me struggle anymore.
The fresh installation of Windows 7 x64 gave me no problems. The installation of Visual Studio 2008 Team System and Sql Server 2008 Developer had the usual problems, which is solved by googling, and installing VS2008 sp1. Should probably installed Sql first, I think that would have made it easier.
The biggest obstacle I ran into was the VPN, which I totally depend on to get my work done. Luckily I found that Citix had launched a new version for Win x64 the very same day, https://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=1859596&productId=15005. Company policy requires F-Secure to be installed, and it is installed once logging on to the domain. The firewall is default on, which must be turned off. Use another firewall. Else I only accessed the intranet over http, but everything else was hidden. No warning, no nothing. But the solution was simple, F-Secure’s firewall, Citrix Access Gateway and Windows 7 was not best pals together.
