Can you explain in more detail? This is a bit vague for us to help you.

I'm running Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit. When I try to install the program it states to contact the vender for a 64-bit version. Anyone else getting the same problems? Thanks much!

No, but have you tried installing it under Windows XP mode?

I've tried all three Win xp compat modes - i.e sp1, sp2, and sp3, not to mention both vista's i.e. sp1 and sp2.

I mean, Windows XP Mode.

It creates a virtual Windows XP environment inside WIndows Vista Ultimate.

my guess is corrupt or incomplete client download

STO install works fine in the 64-bit address space

Its most likely a corrupted file... but if not then.........

I'm not sure, I think coderanger will have to help you on this one..

it has to be corrupt somehow, cause the STO DX includes both x86 & x64 enviros

i'd go re-download (just) the Dxsetup redistributable (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=04ac064b-00d1-474e-b7b1-442d8712d553) and try again, maybe worth a shot

A window opens briefly then nothing.
