One of the challenges ACT! by Sage users have had in the passed is getting the software installed properly. It has certainly improved in recent years, but there are still certain best practices to follow. Just released, the From the Trenches ACT! 2010 Install Video. Customer feedback from past from the trenches install videos has been positive, and indicate is getting better with each passing year. This year we are making it available to the general public for purchase (previously included as a bonus for purchasing the ACT! software from us). We hope this year’s version is just as valuable. Taken from the description page in the store here is what is included (scroll for screenshot).

Hey Mark- thanks for taking the time. Glad it was helpful to you.
Hi Travis,
ACT 2010 easily installed into Windows 7 64-bit. Your Install video was a big help, particulary in the area of turning off security.

Glad to hear a Windows 7 user is diving in with both feet! Many of my customers aren't yet on Windows 7, so your comment is likely helpful to many who will read it.
