I installed GNOME Shell on Ubuntu 11.04 and logged in with it. But when I try to install the Windows theme, it complains that

Gnome desktop session is required

Anyone knows why this is? Is there another way to make it look like Windows?

Software Center shows gnome-shell installed (which included gnome-session manager). I'm installing windows theme downloaded from here.

Modify the following line(71) at win7-setup.sh: 

if [ $DESKTOP_SESSION = "gnome" -o $DESKTOP_SESSION = "classic-gnome" ] ; then

to

if [ $DESKTOP_SESSION = "gnome" -o $DESKTOP_SESSION = "gnome-classic" ] ; then

First check that "gnome-session" is installed. Should be since you can log in to your session. But just to be sure, you can check it in Software Center. If not installed try installing it and then try installing your Windows 7 theme again.

If it's installed the some more information about how your installing your windows 7 theme would be good.

Looking at the shell script you provided, it contains GnoMenu, which as far as I'm aware, is a Gnome Panel applet. It is possible that it might work with Gnome Panel 3, but I have my doubts. Gnome Panel 2 is no longer available since Gnome 2 is deprecated.

The theme that you're trying to install is intended for gnome2.x and gtk2 applications.

This will not work on gnome3.x and gtk3 based applications.

AFAIK there's no gtk3 theme that looks similar to Windows7,
