Installing An Application under VISTA

Post by johnmiller1950 » Sun Sep 27, 2009 2:17 am

Greetings All,

I wrote an installer stack that installs my application. It works fine under Mac OS X and XP, but won't work under VISTA. I have read a few things about virtualization and temp folders, but I don't have a clue what this all means. Surely there must be a way to copy a program to the program files under VISTA.

Your help is appreciated.

Dear John,

If you're only copying a programme to the programme files, it should be sufficient to tell the user to right-click on the installer and choose "run as administrator".
