| | why didn't those program work? I've been using vista for only a month.Like before,I'd like to set up a few programmes,such as Adobe Reader,Visul C++ and so on.After installation, it says "it may not be installed corretly,suggest you to install again".I have installed for several times.But every time I run my computer,it says that "there's something wrong with the program,you'd better install it again". I've also tried to change the options about concurrence,and also failed. So,would somebody like to help me ? Many thanks. PS: lulu-zj@xxxxxx |

Vista is expecting a certain return form the installer, doesn't get it and throws up that warning. One of the options when that warning comes up is to tell Vista that it did infact install correctly. |

| | RE: why didn't those program work? Go to the programs websites, check that they are the latest version, AND vista compatible. Download them saving to your Desktop, or whatever folder you want to. Right-click on their setup.exe, select "Run as Admin" Install.

Have you tried installing in compatibility mode, or going to the .exe and in properties / compatibility, setting the compatibility to one or several of the choices?
