Various Topics on Windows Vista

....

Hi,

Thanks again for all of your help. I created a shortcut from the exe,
as you described. But it still won't let me Run As Administrator,
either by right-c**** or in properties. I will contact the software
company... I am fed up with Vista!

..

Maybe you're not on an administrative user's account. In other words, maybe
you don't have the right level of access to be given the choice to run as
administrator.
I don't know a lot about user levels, but there probably are some folks on
this group who knows that stuff inside out.

I have the same problem with BOINC, which I use for grid computing/medical
research.
Install the program somewhere other than Program Files and it works.
MS calls that security, I call it a joke. (go ahead, Flame away)
Just another reason I only have Vista on only 1 of over 200 machines I
administer.
UAC does nothing but teach users to c**** through a bunch of un-necessary
prompts until the day arrives that a real threat shows up and you c****
through automatically...definately not ready for prime time.

Get the Install CD in the drive, find install.exe on the CD, right c**** and
select run as admin.

It's a software issue and not a Vista issue on how to install the software.
I had the same problem on XP Pro where a software just wouldn't let me
install it, a software for a print server. I was ****ed with the software
and XP, but tech support got me through it. They will do the same for you,
hang in there and roll with the punches. ;-)

Oh, one other thing, you are logged on to the computer with an Administrator
account I ***ume!

You don't need to change any properties, you just need to log in as
administrator
Double-c**** the install.exe and it will install itself

or give yourself 'full control' of the program files folder
