Swisscom(1): I installed the English Windows 7 - I have no tablet recognition with my input language "Swiss German", maybe it will work with the German language pack
(2): The setup tells you it won't work with this operating system. Don't (!) use the recommended settings for setup, instead do the following:
- right-click the installer
- click "Properties"
- go to "Compatibility"
- Click "Change settings for all users"
- Set the "Compatiblity mode" to "Windows Vista"
- Set the "Privilege Level" to "Run this program as an administrator"
- Click "OK" twice
- Run the installer
