Windows 7 is rather old but it will still work. See the release note that states the below revision history.
Build 1454 - Added a high resolution icon for Windows 7 (and later).
Build 1583 - Added "TM4C129X Development Board" to the quickset list.
Changed the registry key used to store application settings
so that it is now under HKEY_CURRENT_USER rather than
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This ensures that settings are saved
correctly on Windows 7 and Windows 8 regardless of whether
or not the application is run as an administrator.
Release Notes for LM Flash Programmer
Version 2.0 - Initial Release of LM Flash Programmer.
Version 2.5 - Added command line support.
- Fixed bug that prevented programming over serial port with some
of the new evaluation boards.
Version 3.0 - Added ability to program over Ethernet using the Stellaris bootloader.
- Added a User Register programming utility.
- Divided utilities into two tabs: Flash Utilities and Other Utilities.
Version 3.1 - Fixed a problem that occurs on some Windows Vista machines where the
application crashes while starting up.
Version 3.2 - Added the LM3S3748 evaluation board to the Quickset
pull-down menu.
- Added the new crystal values supported in DustDevil to the Crystal
pull-down menu.
- Added support to debug port unlock for DustDevil and added prompts
for user to assert reset during the debug unlock procedure for Fury
and DustDevil.
- Fixed a problem that kept the debug port unlock utility from working
with the new '811 eval boards.
- Fixed a problem where the tab contents disappeared when the ESC key
was hit.
Version 3.3 - Fixed bug that prevented uploading from working when using the
command line portion of the tool.
- Fixed bug that prevented programming larger binaries over the serial
port using the bootloader.
- Integrated new release of the debug library for faster operation.
Version 3.4 - Fixed bug in the new debug library introduced in version 3.3 that
prevented programming of sandstorm class devices.
- Added proper return codes to command line portion of the tool. 0 is
returned on success, and 1 is returned on failure.
Version 3.5 - Added Ethernet programming "magic packet" transmission to allow
automated update without the need for user intervention at the
target end (when apps are suitably coded to listen for the magic
packet and transfer control to the boot loader when it arrives).
Build 654 - Removed tracking based on version number. It is now tracked strictly
based on build number.
- Increased the number of COM ports in drop down menu from 25 to 100.
- Added the ability to reset the target after a program operation using
the serial interface.
- Fixed a problem that was caused by setting up the device to run from
the main oscillator but not allowing time for the main oscillator to
power up and settle. This could cause problems if the main oscillator
was not already being used in the application running on the board.
- Fixed bug that prevented the GUI from starting on some Vista machines.
- Added a transfer size option when using the serial program interface.
Build 718 - Added support for USB Device Firmware Upgrade programming.
- Grey out address boxes when the "Entire Flash" options are
checked in the Flash Utilities tab.
- Added baud rates of 230400 and 460800 to the drop-down menu when using
the Serial(UART) Interface.
- Added support to remember all settings based the interface selected.
- Fixed a problem for Dustdevil devices (EK-LM3S3748 board) that was
caused by setting up the device to run from the main oscillator but
not allowing enough time for the main oscillator to power up and
settle. This problem is seen if the main oscillator was not being
used in the application running on the board.
- Fixed a problem that was seen when the software running on the device
configured the system clock based on the settings in RCC2. Previous
versions of LMFlash only configured RCC. Therefore the system clock
was not configured as expected by LMFlash. The symptom was that the
programming operation would stall at 0%.
- Added a programming timeout so that it will not stall in the
programming loop if there is a problem.
Build 749 - Fixed a problem with the UART interface seen when programming
large files. The communication port read timeout parameters
are now modified based on the file size to program. Larger
images require more flash pages to be erased and therefore need
a longer timeout period when waiting for the acknowledge from the
device after the erase completes.
Build 757 - Bug fix for programming issues under certain conditions.
Build 761 - Fixed a bug introduced by build 757 when programming sandstorm parts
(for example - EK-LM3S811). Due to an update to the debug library,
the JTAG frequency must be reduced to <600K for sandstorm devices.
In the end, the programming of sandstorm devices is faster than in
previous releases even though the JTAG frequency has been reduced.
Build 771 - Added STDOUT FIFO flushing when running LMFlash via the command line.
This was needed to improve the update rate of status information when
LMFlash is called from a script (in some cases).
- Added Tempest boards to Quick Set pull-down menu.
Build 776 - Added Tempest to the Debug Port Unlock utility.
Build 778 - Fixed a programming timeout issue on sandstorm devices in some cases.
Build 814 - Added workaround for Tempest Rev B debug port unlock errata.

256K.

prevented correct operation with LM4F232 and LM4F121 ControlCard
boards.
Build 1563 - Tidied up resource handling in the Stellaris ICDI module. Some
failures in previous versions could cause resource leaks and
require you to restart LMFlash before trying again.
Build 1572 - Added "TM4C123G Development Board" to the quickset list.
Build 1583 - Added "TM4C129X Development Board" to the quickset list.
Changed the registry key used to store application settings
