Hi

I've tried to install on vista, but even if I use the XP compatability mode all I get is the pop up to ask if I should run it. When I click on yes I get another window that pop up then goes,it then comes and says if it has installed it properly I then say no. It then tries to install and the nothing comes up.

Anything else I can try???

or is it just XP all the way??[&:]

Seems vista thinks its an ms-dos file and is not executing properly, how can I make vista run it as an installer?

I didn't have any problems installing on Vista 64 bits.
Did you try installing it as admin ?

I think Vista is for some reason assoc an ms-dos filw with the exe and thus can't cope with he file.

Hi

Looks like I have a corrupt installer it does the same on XP now, looks like I'll have to buy another copy.
