I would have liked to say something positive, but i could not install this version on my vista pc.

this is the error message:

installation is running if i use the "run as administrator" option!. right-click the setup.exe and then it works. Now testing really begins!

Cheers, Roland

Installation trouble were persinstent on my Vista pc! During the whole installation procedure different error messages occured. To install within Vista you have to perform a) the installation setup and b) the first time program launch both "run as administrator"!!

Then after first launch, everything seems to work out normal.

Thanks Roland.
Obviously we have a problem here with the Vista installation that we need to address. Development team will look into this on Monday.

As workaround for the moment on Vista, you could try to switch on the Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode in the properties of the Installer-File (right mouse on icon). This should make it work.
