[...] Windows 7 上安装 Palm Pre Mojo SDK 之前一直玩Mojo 0.3.4的泄露版SDK，在Win7上安装也一直没有什么问题。前段时间Palm将Mojo SDK正式Release(Version 1.1.0)，自然不放过这个玩浮云的机会。于是下载安装，按照剧情要求，悲剧的事情总是要发生的，Win7上安装SDK到一半时，安装程序就自动Roll back，也没有明显的提示，the Palm pre’s joke? 查安装日志，发现是安装到于Mojo相关的Windows Update一个组件时发生了错误。。。0.3.4安装正常，估计是没有安装这个组件，然后到Palm Developer的forum上瞅了一下，发现这就是Win7的一个悲剧，Mojo SDK的开发人员已经开始着手解决这个问题了。估计下一个SDK版本要等一会儿了，咱也不能闲着不是，现在的办法就是在安装时让安装程序不要安装那个windows update组件，于是有牛人无聊找到解决方案：http://www.juergentreml.de/archives/802 [...]

Sorry, I should have posted a quick update on that matter some time ago: The latest version of Palm’s Mojo SDK works perfectly on Windows 7 (x86 and x64) without any tweaking, right out of the box.

Just download the latest version on Palm’s website, install and run.

I am not able to edit the Palm SDK file with orca, I keep on getting the following error message: Failed to open MSI Database: ‘filelocation\Palm SDK.msi’ I have made sure the Palm-Mojo-SDK-Win-1.1.0.12 is in the same directory, I have made a copy of the file from the temp directory, I have even tried reinstalling orca(which launches fine by itself) but I cannot edit this .msi file for some reason. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks. This worked perfectly on Windows 7 Ultimate RTM.

BTW: I did not experience any issues running the emulator from the shortcut supplied by Palm. I am using VirtualBox 3.04

I guess you’ve got a valid point Brian.

On the contrary, I agree with Jürgen that it’s a decision best left with the blog visitors.

Btw, I didn’t find any Trojan or Malware on it.

PS: I too probably feel that it would violate some point in the T&Cs to directly redistribute any part of the MS download without permission. But since the download isn’t hosted here, nor is it directly linked to from here, it shouldn’t be a problem

That’s 100% true and the reason why I left the original instructions as they were and instead just added the direct link as additional information.

I think the kind of people visiting this site, i.e. developers, etc., can decide for themselves which way they prefer and which are the risks involved.

Thank you for the instructions, can’t wait to try this out at home! I would like to encourage you to remove the direct download link, though, on general security principle. You have far more assurance that your computer won’t get owned by trojans or viruses when you download the software straight from Microsoft instead of a random third-party site.
