Windows 7 64-bit and Assassin's Creed

Has anyone been able to get assassin's creed install on Windows 7 Ulitimate 64-bit? If so, how did you do it? I keep getting the "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running...."

I have tried compatibility mode and running as admin but nothing seems to work. I have seen posts claiming people have it running, but no one ever explains how they did it.

I am stumped, and suggestions people could offer would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased the game from Direct2Drive if that makes a difference.

I'm not sure what your trouble could be. I happen to have the Steam version installed on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Build 7100 (that's the RC). I simply double-clicked to start the first run on this OS, and had no trouble. There was a UAC popup for a first-run setup step, which appeared to be DirectX related. Then another screen appeared that listed several checkmarks saying my system meets all requirements, and then the game started right up. Second time running it: double-clicking just started the game right up without any of that first-run stuff.

I have no issues with the Steam version, either.. that doesn't really help, I guess :)

I should have thought of that. The first suggestion is usually to patch the game to the newest version. And yes, Steam does automatically apply updates to games, although that's not always to the absolute newest version.

Example: Fallout 3. Steam installs 1.5 (I think), but to patch up to 1.7 and thus be ready for all the DLC so far, you've got to go through Games For Windows Live.

That's what is was. I purchased a copy from Steam and it loaded right up. To direct2Drive's credit, while they did tell me that I was running in an unsupoprtable config, they did give me a store credit.

As far as I have tried,AC 2, Brotherhood and Revelations worked well on my Win 7 64-bit machine. Have not installed the first one on it.
