A common problem, here are the main reasons for a download or an upgrade not to work:
* You need to already own any previous version of MLwiN before you can upgrade to the latest version.
* Check you have administrative rights on your PC, the program will not install unless you have administrative rights.
* You must also have version 2.02 or 2.10 or later installed, but note it will not work from any 2.10 Beta version.
* MLwiN 2.1 is only tested on the following operating systems: Windows XP, Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista. If you have an earlier operating system, you can get a pre-XP installer which you can download.
* Please note you can download the teaching version for free if you only need the program for the learning materials, but all the above installation guide points still need to be followed.

I upgraded Vista to Windows 7. But I do not get MLwiN running, although it worked smoothly under Windows Vista.
Has anybody any tips/help?

Could you please provide some addition information, for example:

Did you install MLwiN before or after upgrading to Windows 7? If before then does uninstalling and reinstalling MLwiN work any better?

Did you install MLwiN with administrative privileges?

Could you give some information about what happens when you attempt to run it, for example does it crash or give an error message?
