Hi all

Im trying to install a windows like desktop. Hey, im used to the windows look.

Anyway, I read this article:

http://www.howtogeek.com/55985/how-to-make-ubuntu-linux-look-like-windows-7/

and followed the following instructions:

    cd ~/

    sudo wget http://web.lib.sun.ac.za/ubuntu/files/help/theme/gnome/win7-setup.sh

    sudo chmod 0755 ~/win7-setup.sh

    ~/win7-setup.sh

when I run this script, it tells me that I need to log in using gnome.
Ok, I log in to

*gnome
*gnome classic
*gnome (no add ons)

and neither will work.

I get the error message 'Please use the Gnome desktop for the Win7
theme installation'.

I've already installed the gnome desktop ( sudo apt-get install gnome-shell )

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Glenn.
