Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I'm trying to install jdk 1.5 EE
on my windows 7 box, and the installer says the platform/patch level
is unsupported. Is there really no way to develop on jdk 1.5 from
Windows 7?

Java 5 reached its "end of service life" last November. I don't know
for sure that that is your problem but it could be a clue.

Make sure you're not mixing x64 installation on a 32bit platform.

I've had no issues running JDK1.5 and JDK1.6 on my windows 7 machine.

The free version EOL'ed October 30 2009.

But the version you pay for first EOL June 2014 / June 2019.

As I understand it then the code is same, so unless SUN deliberately
withhold Windows 7 patches for the free version, then it should
have Windows 7 support.

But no need to speculate.

Windows 7 is on the list:
