Merlin Messaging Unified Messaging software on Windows 7?

[jaduke]

My last WinXP box just bought the farm and I'm wanting to consolidate on Win7, since it will be supported for a while.

However, I'm having a hard time getting Unified Messaging to run under Win7. I don't see either service "Unified Messaging Application" or "Unified Messaging Application SMTP" showing in Services on the 7 box.

Has anyone been successful in getting this to work?

Can you share what you did and how you did it?

Please note, I am running the SMTP version (not Exchange), but I think I just need to get the services going to resolve this.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Jon

Not sure it will work on win 7.

You may want to try installing xp mode for win 7 then reinstall the application.

Jaduke,

I have installed Merlin Messaging 4.0 on a (Windows-7 Pro) using XP compatability mode, if you don't have it with your "7" I think you can download it from the Microsoft site..

Let us know how you make out.

Mike,

I've got Administration working fine, but the Unified Messaging that picks up new voicemails and forwards them to email isn't working. It relies on two services "Unified Messaging Application" and "Unified Messaging Application SMTP" referring to UMService & SMTPExp respectively.

Loading in XP Mode doesn't seem to matter-I still can't get them to run.

I think I may have to load up a "real" virtual machine like VMWare to get this working.

Thanks.

Jon

PS: Sorry about the blank post-don't know how I managed to do that...

did you install xp mode before you installed the apps?

I couldn't install the UM software in 7-the installer just wouldn't run without error. I was able to install the Messaging Admin OK in 7 (and it appears to run fine as with admin/XP compatibility set).

I installed XP Mode, then the install worked.

But, I still don't see the services running, even in XP.

Thanks.
