Hi rossufox !

I don't know if this can help, but I saved this post.

Here is how I was able to install the latest LightScribe software on Windows 7, unlike Henk I am going to share with everyone on how to install this software:

1.  Go here to download the latest system software:

http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadsection/Windows/index.aspx?id=810

2.  Once downloaded double click on the *.exe file to run the installer.  Once it gets to the "operating system is not adequate" error, leave the window open and do not click "OK" just yet.

3.  You will now have to navigate to the temporary directory to where the MSI file it extracted is.  This can be found in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp".  In my case, it created a directory called "{494F8C6F-CB8A-4AF2-B85D-A238A88DB575}".

4.  Copy the LS_HSI.msi file to some other location, then click on "OK" to that dialog box and the directory should automatically delete itself.

5.  Next you will have to use a hex editor to edit the part of the installer where it checks the NT version.  I used XVI32 which is freeware.  Open the LS_HSI.msi file in the editor and go to the hexadecimal address "19C976" or alternatively search for VersionNT until you see 600.

6.  Change VersionNT = 600 to 601.; save; and exit.

7.  The installer may complain about not having administrator rights for some reason.  I am in a domain environment so I right clicked the installer and ran it as "Administrator.”

8.  Repeat the same process for the Template Labeler program.  The hex address for the NT version is located at 57882.

9.  Have fun burning labels again and be sure to thank the LightScribe developers for making a stupid operating system check!


P. S. I think you're going to find out that finding Blu-ray LightScribe Media is impossible.

The latest lightscribe software supports Windows 7 so that is not the issue, no reason to try and hack old software.

rossufox,
   I would start by looking at the growing list of software that conflicts with lightscribe opeartions, and drivers for SATA/IDE connections.
