Default Cheapest LT1 Tuning Software?

Hey guys,
I just ran into a bit of an issue. I'm going out of town in 7 days, was under the impression that you could flash the PCM with Datamaster, and really don't want to spend anymore money than I already have on getting a tune. I can send the PCM to PCMforless if all else fails, but I'm looking for a free/cheap way of uploading the tunes I'm sent. HELP!! I want to be able to get all of the kinks worked out in my tune before I leave, but if I'm having to send my PCM back and fourth, there's no way that'll happen.

You can download TunerCat's WinFlash software to read and flash your PCM, $19.95. If you want to do your own tuning the software is $69.95 and you'll need a $19.95 definition file.

It looks like it isn't compatible with W7 64-bit
I can't run it, and I don't see any .exe file or anything of the sort. Help?

I just looked at it and it says it is compatabile, you might have to run it in win xp mode as an administrator but it should work.
