Did you run the modder.vbs file?

When you type hostname from a CMD prompt what do you get?

When I run the command line modder.vbs, does this message appear?

Using Regedit go to this key and what is the value in the Data column for CurrentVersion

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ 

This is the version of the Data column for CurrentVersion

I just tried on a new install of Windows 7 and there is no problem. I'm not sure what your problem could be, but make sure you are running the modder.vbs from a command window with administrator privileges. You might be able to right click the modder.vbs and Run as Administrator.

You might mod the modder.vbs file to bypass the check.
