problem is that you need to hack the OE 2.0 msi installer to be able to run on non UMPC machines. guide over here at my blog:

I cannot get OE 2.0 to even run install in win7 home premium. i get a message that it’s for umpc’s running vista only, then install exits suddenly, saying no changes were made to the system. how are you guys getting it to work, but im not? perhaps microsoft updated the installer to stick it to us for making use of their software? who has an old copy of the installer?

Unfortunately for most Intel users, when it came down to obtaining drivers for Windows 7, some users were left in the dirt with no support and no mention of support from Intel

Correction.. I gave it another try. Uninstalled it and reinstalled it with custom install and only installed Touch options. Error messages stopped and touch options seem to work now.

Also, My Windows 7 Professional had multi-touch capabilities right out of the box.

This only works in Windows Vista. It does NOT work in Windows 7, as the article claims. I gave it a try anyway, and, to be sure, it did not work AT ALL in Win7.

it is setup to handle touch; just not multitouch. you would need to get the proper drivers given your tablet/pc can handle it/support it.

my touchscreen kit i have on my msi wind is an aftermarket, resistive touchscreen (multitouch are capacitive) and worked right out of the box. the touchpack is actually made for multitouch capable devices and would be pointless to install on a single touch input (plus, only OEMs have access to the touchpack).

I don’t think Windows 7 is setup to handle touchscreen out of the box, you will need to buy a seperate Multi touch pack for it.

NOTE:

if you have issues w/the Origami Central or Now application or don’t want it to run. Just go to your Start Menu > All Programs > Startup and remove the Origami items.

This can help login time for those pc’s without as much ummph (ie netbooks) and those that get errors after installing the pack.
