I have tried twice to install A97 on Vista machines and both times the
install failed - I suspect something hadn't registered properly.
Did you have to do anything special to get it to install properly?

I have encountered issues when *running* Access 97 under Vista. As yet I
have not seen any problems with installing it.

What sort of problems.
We have a large application delivered to customers as an mde. We are
keeping people off Vista for the moment but in due course I suspect we
have to make sure it runs under Vista.
What sort of problems are we likely to encounter? In practice is it
usable under Vista?

I was using A97 SP2 disk as was my son who also had similar problems.
He eventually managed to finish the install. I have just given up.

Les,
We use Wise 9.02 and Sagekey scripts to install our Acc97 application
on Vista. Works fine as long as you run the application as
administrator. In our case, we give the progam icon administartive
rights.
And to respond to others about Vista's quality...we will be going to
Macs if we ever loss the ability to get Windows XP. Vista is worse
than crap and as someone posted earlier the only security is to prompt
the user for every action. It might be nice if the user could mark an
application as "trusted" and get ride of the prompts. If someone knows
how to do that, I would really like to know how..

I was under the impression digitally signing the app exe took care of that.
Different for Access of course.
