BeMicro error on Windows 7

If you unzip and run the BeMicro.zip files for the BeMicro lab on a Windows 7 PC you will receive the following error when you execute setup.exe;

"Registry key for JTAG server is Missing. Setup Aborted"

I recognize that Windows 7 is not officially supported but was hoping there might be a work around.

    If you run into the same problem I do, Windows 7 can't use the JTAG drivers for the ByteBlaster (at least USB ones) that come with Altera Software.

    That could be why your installer won't work properly. As to a workaround, I guess we'll have to wait for Altera to release Windows 7 compatible Blaster Drivers.
