For an install in windows 7:
- compatability: previous version of windows (for the library and the ssfhs)
- do install : Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package
Unfortunately: incorrect parameter messages form (windows 7 or dokan ??)

Could you tell me how you got it working in more detail wheras I can run dokan 
on a
32-bits windows 7 but after connection on a 64 bits windows 7 dokan stops 
working
and changing the compatability does not rende a solution.
I installed where possible the 64 bits versions of dokan and visual C++ and 
later, 
after reading your post also the 32 bits version of visual C++ (SP1 for both 
versions of visual C++).

Sad to hear that dokan also crashes with you. But why does it work on a 32 bits 
windows 7 ?
Maybe there are some firewall or security issues . . .
I am digging deeper and let you know when and how dokan works on a 64 bits 
windows 7

I cant use DokanSSHFS on win 7 either... Installs fine, Visual c++, Lib and 
SSHFS.

Start DokanSSHFS,
Enter all the info,
Connect.

I get an Info message box that says:
sshfs start

Then i get the old:
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly...

I tried using Comp. mode but none works.

A solution is much appreciated

AMD 64, build 7100 RC...

For me this was related to issue #5,
http://code.google.com/p/dokan/issues/detail?id=5

The solution in the thread worked great!
http://blogs.intesoft.net/post/2007/12/Running-NET-Apps-in-32-bit-mode-on-64-bit
-Windows.aspx

It is as follows:
1. Install Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1: BETA
(1.1GB Iso file)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a91dc12a-fc94-4027-b67e
-46bab7c5226c&displaylang=en

2. Run  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin>CorFlags.exe 
"C:\Program
Files (x86)\Dokan\DokanSSHFS\DokanSSHFS.exe" /32BIT+

This will set DokanSSHFS.exe to always run in 32-bit mode. To change it back 
just
change /32BIT+ to /32BIT-

(These are all Default paths on both Win7 SDK and DokanSSHFS on my win7 64-bit 
RC 7100)

This made DokanSSHFS run on my setup.

This issue was also related to #5 for me. I did some slight modifications to the
instructions provided by mikael.ljunglof and would like to share. 

1. Install the RTM build (Beta link going away soon):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c17ba869-9671-4330-a63e
-1fd44e0e2505&displaylang=en

1a. I only needed to select "Developer Tools -> Windows Development Tools -> 
.NET
Development Tools", and leave everything else unchecked. Save space, and 
download time!

Dokan SSHFS is an incredible tool that I fell in love with immediately. Please 
keep
development on this active!

The workaround given in comments 1 & 2 does not work for me: Here's what I do:

1) install  Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d
-389c36f85647&displaylang=de

2) Download dokan build dokan-0421238x86
3) run DokanInstall32.exe

4) See an error message: "This program runs on Windows XP, 2003, Vista 32bit

I am trying this on Windows 7 Ultimate, 32bit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

is there actually a chance to get the sshfs work on windows 7 professional 
32bit?

Thanks!

Hi, I just installed Dokan SSHFS fine on Windows 7 Business x64.
I used the 64-bit installer, then ran "corflags" as reported elsewhere on the 
site:
CorFlags.exe "\Program Files (x86)\Dokan\DokanSSHFS\DokanSSHFS.exe" /32bit+

After I did this sshfs worked fine.

Many thanks for writing this Asaka!

To make this a little clearer:  To get SSHFS working under Windows 7 x64 
(64-bit),
you need to modify the currently available DokanSSHFS.exe 
(dokan-sshfs-0.2.0.1226
2008/12/11) to force it to run in 32-bit mode.

This can be done with a Microsoft tool "Microsoft Common Language Runtime 
Agnostic
Assembly Conversion Tool" aka CorFlags.exe (68928 bytes, 2009-07-14 23:39:22, 
SHA-1:
1C4BF478E42F53B0ACDBD54EDD88E693CB9CAEE9) that's distributed as part of the .NET
Development Tools.  As of this writing, the latest release is "Microsoft 
Windows SDK
for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1" at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c17ba869-9671-4330-a63e
-1fd44e0e2505&displaylang=en
.  That small web stub installer lets you pick which components from the huge 
package
to download/install.  As mdhuntley said in comment 8: Uncheck everything except 
".NET
Development Tools" (Developer Tools -> Windows Development Tools -> .NET 
Development
Tools) and install.  

So after installing Dokan library (dokan-0.4.0.1223 x64 2008/12/19) and Dokan 
SSHFS
(dokan-sshfs-0.2.0.1226 2008/12/11) set the 32BIT flag on DokanSSHFS.exe with:

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\CorFlags.exe
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Dokan\DokanSSHFS\DokanSSHFS.exe" /32BIT+

Mounting remote filesystems via SSHFS on Windows 7 x64.  Sweet!

Following the instructions between #8 and #12, i was able to install and run 
SSHFS on 
Windows 7 64-bit. I was thrilled when I was able to connect and browse my 
server, even 
edit and save a file! But the connection seemed to time out within a minute, 
and I had 
to re-run the program to create a new mapping, since the zombie one didn't 
release its 
disk. Realizing I had a limited number of drive letters, I had to abandon this 
as a 
current development environment solution. 

Cheers, though, and keep up the good work!

Tested with Dokan library 0.5.3, the ISSUE remains, unable to install Dokan 
Driver on Windows 7 32-bit.

Original comment by sniper.d...@gmail.com on 6 Jul 2010 at 9:58

I think there is confusion here.

All versions of Dokan SSHFS doesn't officially support 64 bit OS. There is a 
workground which is mentioned above.
Old Dokan library doesn't support Windows7. For example, Dokan 0.4.x doesn't 
support Windows7.

Dokan library 0.5.3 should work on Windows7. Could you uninstall Dokan library,
restart your computer, and install it again?

Hi asakaw,

The same issue when unintall, rstart windows, and try to install again.

Unable to open to write the dokan.sys file into system32\drivers\ but I am 
running it as Administrator.

I tried to install it using the prompt, I could install the service but not the 
driver.

Using Windows 7 32-bits on build 7600 

Original comment by sniper.d...@gmail.com on 7 Jul 2010 at 1:48

The same results as reported by nessur still happen.
Is there some kind of log where we can see what exactly is happening,
so it can be debugged? (I'm a Java+C# developer with little time. So I can 
provide you with logs and run tests but am lacking the time to find out about 
the inner workings of this program.)

The latest 0.6 version installs fine on windows 7 64 bit, but it crashes when I 
try to Connect.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (NT 6.1.7601 SP 1) and Dokan installed just 
fine for me. I received no errors nor complaints during installation, and the 
sample mirror.exe worked beautifully.

I do have MSVS 2010, MSVS 2012, Debugging Tools for Windows, Microsoft SDK, and 
the WDK installed, so my system is far from stock.
