| Guest | Program Installation I am trying to install several programs (all InstallShield created) on Vista Ultimate RC1 that install without any problems on Windows 2000 and XP. However everything it extracts the msi file and then I get the following error message: Unable to save file c:\windows\Downloded Installations\{GUI# my program.msi The system cannot find the path specified. I then went to see what was in c:\windows\Downloded Installations but it does not exist. Any ideas what is causing this? Jack |

| Guest | Re: Program Installation Jack, Try running the setup using the "Run as Administrator" option. You can right mouse click on the setup and find it there.

| Guest | Re: Program Installation If you are using Vista x64, 16bit installers will not work. Some 32bit programs have a 16bit installer.
