Should work on windows 7.

I will try it as soon as I get time. BTW be cautious as I am not sure how this version will behave. It came out after a long time.

Do you have a link to the free version?

aigle · #4 July 31st, 2009, 07:28 AM

Run the pro, after trial it will turn into free one. Or wait for official release shortly.

mvdu · #5 July 31st, 2009, 07:31 AM

Any 64-bit support?

firzen771 · #6 July 31st, 2009, 07:42 AM

is ther a changelog, or is windows 7 compatibility the only change.

Thanks for the info. Can't wait for v3.

Cheers!

Good to see folks updating their wares for Windows 7 support so swiftly. A thumbs up for that.

Being an old and crumpy type, though, I must wonder why they don't post any checksums for the installers on the website. This may be 2009, but corrupted downloads can still happen, and checksums would be nice to have, especially for the kind of people who would download software like this (generally folks who know how to check that the checksum is correct).

One of you guys who uses this thing might consider suggesting that to the developer(s).

blacknight · #16 July 31st, 2009, 10:42 AM

I can't install it.

I'm using GesWall 2.8 from many months, without problems, and I have always the same system configuration, But I'm not able to install the 2.9 version. It says that may be I have not all the privileges, and I have only an account, Admin. I tried upgrandiong the 2.8, uninstalling the 2.8, uninstalling also Comodo Internet Security, even if it never did me problem with GesWall, but nothing to do.. May be it's a version bug ?

firzen771 · #17 July 31st, 2009, 10:50 AM

wow ver 3 sounds like its gunna be great with the 64 bit compatibility.

Kees1958 · #18 July 31st, 2009, 11:49 AM

Great news, also x64 coming. Wife wanst a new laptiop, she is hooked on XP, so I will try it on Win7 64 bits later

aigle · #19 July 31st, 2009, 12:57 PM

this version will need a lot of testing and bug fixes on W 7 i guess.

Maybe - depends a lot on how thoroughly they've tested it themselves I guess.

I suspect not too much testing. I am finding some odds. Also there was not even a beta release.
