I am sucessfully running the sample on Windows 7 Enterprise, RC build. However, I will note the following, including several items that are being worked on over next few weeks:

1) On IE8, ConfigWeb has some layout issues that require running in IE7 compatibility mode. This is being addressed. You can hit the compatibility button on the IE 8 toolbar to address until we issue a new version that will have a new layout that does not require this.

2) The Windows .NET Forms apps (namely, the self-host program/base class) have a couple of minor layout issues on Win 7 (namely perfom control and Win Form SOA Map TreeView. I am working on.

3) The .NET self-hosts programs should be run as a logged-on user in the Admin group. However, unlike Vista, you will additionally need to goto into the \stockTrader\Builds directory, find the stock trader self host(s) [for example, Order Processor or Business Services), and right-click on the EXE and in properties select Run as Administrator. Otherwise, the app will be unable, by design, to register URI service addresses.

For a quick fix on your issue 1. - the issues with the display in IE8 and Netscape 3X - are the comment tags in the .aspx pages.

Remove the <!----------------------------[Whatever] ------------------------------>

in the .aspx files..

Replace such with standard W3C <!-- [whatever] --> exact format as annotated.

And that will fix short term the major issue you have described for that particular problem.
