If you are using any version prior to Version 9, you need to
upgrade for use on Windows Vista or Windows 7. Note
that any changes affecting these operating systems after the
end-of-support date for versions prior to the current version may
affect those versions, so upgrading is highly recommended. Only
Version 11 or higher has been tested for use on Windows 7.

This applies only to the installation to your PC and is not
related to auditing Vista or Windows 7 PCs. You do not
need to be an Administrator at your PC to run the admin console.
However, depending on your UAC settings, you may need to run the
installer at your PC (and only at your PC, not for auditing) as an
Administrator. In Vista, right-click ezsetup.msi and select Run As
Administrator. In Windows 7, shift + right-click and select Run as
different user and enter the local admin name and password.
