Vista - Roxio and Nero Install Problems

Yesterday I left a message, commenting on my problems with installing Roxio
or Nero in Windows Vista (RC1 and RC2). I couldn't install from the Admin
position because it wasn't visible on my system. But then along came Rick
"Nutcase" Rogers with the solution to my invisible Admin problem and I was
halfway there. I say "halfway" as I still had to get Roxio or Nero to
install.

So I rebooted as Admin, now that I could find him, and tried Nero. No luck.
It simply would not install, telling me it was not compatible with my
operating system and that I should look to the Nero web site for a solution.
Of course, there isn't one - at least not yet.

As a last resort I tried my Roxio Easy Media Creator, which I much prefer
anyway, and damned if the whole thing didn't install without a hitch. Not
only was I surprised but, of course, very pleased to now have CD/DVD-burning
software on my RC2 system.

Just thought I'd pass along the results.

What version of Roxio?

How did you "find" the invisible admin? Mine is not visible either.

Hi Bob....

Let me pass on exactly what was given to me:

Click start, type lusrmgr.msc and hit enter. Click on the users folder,
then right click the administrator account and select properties. Uncheck
the box that disables the account. Apply/ok your way out, then logoff and
back on as administrator and try installing the software.

That works just fine. Hope this helps.

Try nero 7.5.1.1 LITE. It didnt give me a single warning

Thanks for the suggestion although I much prefer Roxio anyway and so I am
quite happy to have my full Roxio Easy Media Creator working.
