We do test ParaView nightly on Windows 7 64-bit and it runs fine. Does any version of ParaView run on the system in question? Do you have another Windows 7 machine on which to try it? Another wild guess - you may have to temporarily disable anti-virus software when installing 5.2. On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 9:08 AM, Gao, Zhiming <[email protected]> wrote: > The problem still exists.
