i'm new to this board but i bought TMSunrise couple of years ago.
I'm allready searching a solution for this problem since the beginning of december.
Actually it's running on my windows 7 computer since 3th of januari. But i didn't found the time to write a walkthrough.
Now i have installed windows 7 on my roommates computer also and he also plays sunrise. Perfect time to write the installation walkthrough.
Here it goes:
1. install the original installation cd. (it will take a while to launch cause the installer is packed in one file.)
DO NOT LAUNCH THE PROGRAM
2. Download the Sunrise xtreme package
