**NOTE: it has come to my attention that you will not have to turn the UAC off for this to work, but its an annoying thing so if i were you i would turn it off anyway. (thanks Goddie)

Disable or Turn Off UAC (User Account Control) in Control Panel**

* Go to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Account.
* Go to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Action Center.
* Click or right click on Flag icon in notification area (system tray), and then Open Action Center.
* Type “MsConfig” in Start Search to start System Configuration, then go to Tools tab, select Change UAC Settings, then click on Launch button.

Click on User Account Control settings link.

Slide the slider bar to the lowest value (towards Never Notify), with description showing Never notify me.

Click OK to make the change effective.
Restart the computer to turn off User Account control.

2\. Ok Microsoft removed DirectX 7 and 8 for Visual Basic from the System32 directory in vista so i am guessing they did in Win7 as well (if not this wont hurt)
you can download them [here](http://www.worldwarproductions.com/Eclipse%20Library/dx7vb.dll) and [here](http://www.worldwarproductions.com/Eclipse%20Library/dx8vb.dll) (from GodLords website so thank him)

If you have downloaded them then you should put them in "C:WINDOWSSystem32"
Now you can register the two DLL files. You can do this by typing:
```
cd C:WINDOWSSystem32
regsvr32 dx7vb.dll
regsvr32 dx8vb.dll
```
In a console

after installing them you will need the Eclipse Library Files (ELI) without them eclipse wont work. you can get the library files [here](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/index.php)

after downloading them click the "Run First" file.
then "run second" file
and then "run third" file.
(there may be a few errors while running the 3rd. but if it is more than 5 errors you did something wrong)

with that done you should now have all the things you need to run eclipse

now download eclipse [here](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/ee.php)

3\. after you have downloaded eclipse open the "server" file and run the "server.exe" file

4.then open the client folder and run the client.exe

now you should be able to run eclipse on Window 7

extras:

here are some alternate methods to disable the UAC:

Method 2: **Disable UAC with Registry EditorRegEdit)**

* Run Registry Editor (RegEdit).
* Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem
* Locate the following REG_DWORD value: EnableLUA
* Set the value of EnableLUA to 0.
* Optional step to suppress UAC consent prompt dialog, locate the following REG_DWORD value: ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin
* Set the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin to 0 (optional).
* Exit from Registry Editor and restart the computer to turn off UAC.

**Method 3: Turn Off UAC Using Group Policy**
For Windows 7 Ultimate, Business or Enterprise edition which has Local Group Policy, or computer joined to domain and has Active Directory-based GPO, the group policy can be used to disable UAC for local computer or many computer across large networks at once.

* Enter GPedit.msc in Start Search to run Local Group Policy editor. (Or gpmc.msc to run Group Policy Management Console for AD-based domain GPO editor).
* Navigate to the following tree branch: Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
In GPMC, browse to the required GPO which is linked to the domain or OU where the policy wants to apply.
* Locate the following policy in the right pane: User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Set its value to Elevate without prompt.
* Locate the following policy in the right pane: User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation
Set its value to Disabled.
* Locate the following policy in the right pane: User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Set its value to Disabled.
* Locate the following policy in the right pane: User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations
Set its value to Disabled.

Restart the computer when done.
**Method 4: Using Command Prompt to Disable User Account Control**
The command line option can also be used in batch script command file, i.e. .bat and .cmd files, providing greater convenient to advanced technical user.

* Open an elevated command prompt as administrator.
* To disable the UAC, run the following commands: %windir%System32cmd.exe /k %windir%System32 eg.exe ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
and optionally, the following comand to suppress all elevation consent request and notification:
%windir%System32cmd.exe /k %windir%System32 eg.exe ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem /v ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Tip: To re-enable UAC, the command is:
%windir%System32cmd.exe /k %windir%System32 eg.exe ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
and to turn on prompt for consent UI:
%windir%System32cmd.exe /k %windir%System32 eg.exe ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem /v ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f

Bugs & Error Guide already has an easier way to get it running on every Windows except 3.1 and prior.

I'm sorry to say, but in my opinion, this tutorial looks too bloated. You don't need to disable the UAC at all, unless you want to get rid of that "feature", which isn't Eclipse-specific.
