| | Independent software developers installations will not install. RC1 Install Shield Here is an installation problem that I have discovered using RC1. Sorry if it has already been reported. I use a program called MMB (Multimedia Builder) It creates an autorun menu for application installations. An installation CD will have one or more folders, one for each application. Inside each folder is "Setup.exe" and other needed files created with "Install Shield". When you click a button on the menu it changes to the appropriate folder and "runs" Setup.exe. The UAC Windows permissions window does not show. It either stays in a lower layer on the screen or does not pop up at all. So consequently the installation fails because you don't "Allow" the installation program to run. I have found this with commercial software installations also. If I "Browse" to the folder and double click setup.exe it will not install. Only by right clicking and giving Administrator permissions will it then run the installation. This needs to be addressed. There are thousands of independent software developers using Install Shield and menu programs to create application installations. I can't force my clients to jump through hoops just to get the software that they paid for installed on Vista, when it works perfectly on all other versions of Windows. Thanks Tom Drake Orlando Fl |
