Chiran,
Welcome to the forum and hopefully Wings3D. Wings3D should work on Windows 7 64bit but I am not running on it so I can only guess that Windows 7 is preventing Erlang or Wings3D from running.
Hopefully someone else will know how to fix it. This section is probably a good place to post the question but I recommend you change the description of your post to something other than "I didn't know where to put this question"...
You will probably get a quicker response with something like "Can't get Wings3D to run on Windows 7 64bit". I assume that you are trying to use Wings3D 1.4.1 and not the 1.5.1 Snapshot release. You could try the 1.5.1 Snapshot release if you are having trouble with 1.4.1. Something may have been fixed in the Snapshot release... oort

Just trying to think of something... are you sure your video card supports OpenGL? Does the Erlang window open or does nothing at all happen? If Erlang does not start maybe there is some kind of security thing in Win 7 that may need to be adjusted on your system in order to run Erlang???

the window open as if it is gonna start and then it turns grey and a popup window appears and it says wrel.exe has stopped working... and I have a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430 card...

No file around called "wings-crash.dump" or similar ? With geek-speek in it generated at crash time ? or maybe "erl_dump" ?
Look around a bit on desktop and wings folder.

Hi Chiran,
My Wings 3D 1.4.1 works perfectly with windows 7 64 bits !
Just to say that there is X86 32 bits mode with W7 64 Bits that is automatically detected !
Good luck

Did you install it in what place?
"c:\program files" or "c:\program files (x86)" or in any other place?
RE: Cant get Wings3D to work on win 7 64bit.. help? - Chiran - 02-20-2013
no such file has been created..
and yes I installed it on c:\program files (x86)
RE: Cant get Wings3D to work on win 7 64bit.. help? - micheus - 02-21-2013
Chiran, when you start the installer, there is a checkmarker for "Microsoft DLL's". Did you notice if it was unchecked? If so, try to mark it for install. (there is no problem to get many versions installed - at least, I don't have
)
