Hello,

is the portal drive approved for Windows 7?

Best regards,

Hello Arnold,

note 947066 "Functional restrictions of Portal Drive" says:

Portal Drive is not supported for 64bit Windows and Windows 7. Portal Drive is a 32bit application and it does not run on 64bit operating system. (It's a driver and partially puts itself into kernel, so it can't even use the 32bit emulation offered by 64bit system.)

Kind regards,

It depends on your OS if you have win 7 32bit it will work, but if you have win 7 64bit (like me) it wont work.

If you have win 7 64bit, you can make an network drive and add the path to the folders and it will work. I don't know if it will copy meta-data to but drag and drop will work!!

@ Frank Friedrich

Will this finally work for x64 systems?

Hi,

not sure whether this question is still unsolved here but I have installed Portal Drive on Windows 7 (32bit) and it works fine.

So, no problems here.

My SAP NetWeaver developer studio 7.2 can run on windows 7 but there is no Enterprise Portal menu.

Does anyone have same problem like me?

Hi,

I have heart that the next SP from Portal Drive should support Windows 7.

Best regards

Hi Arnold,

I don't think that there will be any issue in IE 7.0 and KM Portal Drive. It should work fine.

Further if you want you can check the compatability using (Product Availablety Matrix) http://service.sap.com/pam

on market place.

Hi Arnold,

I think the Windows 7 and Vista have the same drive.
