BioGen, what do you mean "seperate" ? are you saying you can have DX9 and DX10 installed at the same time?
That's exactly what I mean.

It's nice they allowed that, unless there's another reason, like a fundamental code change.

It has been mentioned that anything that runs in vista will run in win7. There is also a thread somewhere showing that at least T2 works in win7 the same way as in vista.
Your crashes show that maybe there is a wrong order in installation. I had some problems with vista and T2 but as soon as i found the correct order everything was fine.
1.T2 installation
2.version patch thief
3.Nocdpatch
4.ddfix
5.widescreen
ddfix works only in a nocd patched version. (caused me alot headache till i realised this)
After all those steps you might need to edit the cam.cfg file if the game still crashes to desktop. In some installations i had to manualy set the resolution values in the cfg to agree with the widescreen values.

DX10 is separate, so just use the latest DX9 installer you have and you should be fine.
er dosent W7 have DX9 already as part of DX like vista...?

I think it has DX10 actually...

As far as I remember, it doesn't. DX10 can support some DX9 features, but you still need to install it. I remember doing the same thing for Vista though. >_>

Thief 1/2 run flawlessly (even before installing the nvidia gfx driver) but thief 3 failed to load. Im assuming thats down to T3.exe being no-cd patched, I have deisable DEP as per the same way i did in vista. Im going to reinsteall and re-patch to check that a standard install will work.
Im running Windows 7 RC, and so far its the same as the beta, thief 1/2 are fine (still no fog though), Ive just disabled DEp and am gonna see if T3 now works or not...

I just tried installing Thief 2 and 3 on Windows 7 build 7000. It's an AMD 64 4000+, 1GB RAM and nVidia 7900 GS.
Thief 2 worked fine without ddfix, except for the usualy 16-colors-sky. After I patched it with ddfix it always told me, desired screen resolution is not supported and when I moved it crashed.
Thief 3 had some starting problems, but seems to work now. ... ... But it's in window mode. I tried applying comaptiblity mode to both t3 and t3main.exe, but it didn't change.

See bold area. Hmm, that seems to be a result of one of two things:
One, you don't have the correct resolution set in cam.cfg
and ddfix.cfg.
Two, you are running a non-standard 4:3 resolution thief does not support (and you aren't using the widescreen patch, I assume..?)
