Installing Veeam FastSCP 3.0 on Windows 7 beta

So because Windows 7 is still in Beta, Veeam FastSCP 3.0 does not support it, but it does not mean that you cannot use it.
While trying to install the application on Windows 7 beta you’ll get the following message.

To get around it you can use Winrar to extract the package and launch FastSCPSetup.msi file.
If you don’t have Winrar and don’t want to install it use command line to extract the content of veeam_fastscp_3.0.exe.
the syntax looks like this:
veeam_fastscp_3.0.exe /C /T:(full path)
The following example extracts everything to c:\temp\veeam

Windows 7 Build 7022

Most of you probably know that there is a new build 7022 of Windows 7 floating on the Internet.
I’ve been using Windwos 7 build 7000 for some time now and decided to upgrade to see what it has to offer.
The upgrade went without problems although it took long 1 hour and 10 minutes and multiple reboots. All the application that were installed previously worked fine after upgrade. After upgrade I was asked to provide a key and activate even though it was activated before.
The biggest change probably is the IE8 which is RC1, but the pages that were not working for me on the previous version of IE8 were still not working on RC1. I have not noticed any performance differences for day to day tasks. There are some UI changes but nothing major.
At the moment I don’t see a reason to upgrade form build 7000 to 7022 as it is not big jump and does not provide anything significant.
