On my windows 7 x64 the installation progresses until it wants to write something to the registry, and then i fails.

The only time I’ve seen something similar was with 3rd party mouse drivers. Do you have anything like Intellipoint or any other mouse utility installed? The only other thing to try is to turn mouse acceleration right down in control panel and see if that helps.

I have the Microsoft Surface SDK installed on my Windows 7 x64 machine, and everything works fine on it except the mouse. When I use the mouse the finger finger icon generated on the Surface Simulator is off by approx 100 pixels or so on the top and by 150 pixels or so on the right of the actual position where the mouse clicks at. Any Ideas on how to fix this?

Hey thanks for the solution.
If you download the Surface SDK from MSDNAA (Academic), you get a .exe setup file instead of the msi. I’ve posted a way to get the .msi from that file, together with links to your solution. If you want to update your post with that too, you can find it here: http://www.studentguru.gr/blogs/jupiter/archive/2009/10/07/surface-sdk-on-vista-windows-7-x64.aspx

Think you have a typo “CreateSwlMachineGuid” should be “CreateSqmMachineGuid”
