Setup detected that shut up operating system in use is not Windows Vista [32-bit]/Windows 7 [32-bit]. This setup program and its associated drivers are designed to run only on windows Vista [32-bit]/Windows 7 [32-bit]. Shut up installation will be terminated
Why do I get this, even though I'm on windows 7 and I downloaded the windows 7 link?
