Jed Davidow Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I just installed VIPM, on Vista. I got this error... So I went to that folder and directly ran the installer.exe. This brings up the UAC prompt for security, which did not come up when directly running from the VIPM download. Note: I am using a replacement UAC interface from Norton that is a little better than the MS one- so I don't know if it would have worked without the upgrade. If I remember correctly during the beta, I needed to run as Admin all the time. That's fine, but you might want to make a note of that directly on the installer window, or check for windows version and pop it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, we've got some info in our FAQ about this: Can I install VIPM on Windows Vista? We haven't added any special features for Vista, yet, as it's still not officially supported. But, it's on our roadmap. Thanks, -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhysell Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Jed, I'm running on Vista x64 right now with no issues...however one of the first things I did was turn off UAC. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mads Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I've installed and run VIPM on 64 bit Vista as well, I use the "Run as administrator" option on both the installer and the VIPM...that solves the issue. Mads PS. Is it not about time to support Vista though? The changes needed are not that big... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
