Hi Pierre-Oliver, Unfortunately, Windows Vista is not supported. Local by Flywheel requires Windows 7 64-bit or newer on PCs. ---

OK ! My customer has installed Windows 7 but another issue appeared : installation never finish… and I can read this is a real problem with your installation of Local. Same issue in my computer (Windows 7). Installation OK with another computer with Windows 10. ---

Can you please provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing on the PCs running Windows 7? Sorry for the trouble! ---

The log says : “This computer doesn’t have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory” And here is a screenshot ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/2X/d/dda5751a6d8b22940cf9197ef09fc9274452e656.png) ---

I fixed the first issue by enabling virtualization in the BIOS. But I have another one !!! (again and again…) A solution please ? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/2X/1/1386d7d297ae67658d40dbf81e046cc8ee3a585f.png) ![image](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/images/transparent.png) ---

Glad you got the VT-X/AMD-v issue sorted! If anyone else stumbles upon this thread, here’s the solution: [[Windows] Help! I’m getting a BIOS error about VT-X/AMD-v during installation](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/windows-help-im-getting-a-bios-error-about-vt-x-amd-v-during-installation/426) As far as the hosts file goes, please see my reply here: [Installation error](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/installation-error/3246/4?u=clay) ---
