It's not my app... I'm just a user (who also has Vista).

I shall pass this on to the relevant authority and hope they can add
it. Problem is that the app updates itself and the original doesn't get
the update done under Vista, so we'll need a new original. :(

Catch 22?

How true :)

Hello MartinC,

Try to add
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
</startup>
in your app config.

Hello MartinC,

Does your app have config?
Create or edit <AppExe>.exe.config and add that into <configuration> section

Hello MartinC,

As I understand u done this for your runnable EXE?

Another idea - does UAC is active? Have u tried to turn it off?

I tied turning off UAC, but that didn't help.

I'll get onto the developers.

AHem... it didn't until I rebooted. Now the app is running just fine -
I just have that irritating icon in the system tray - security alert.

Now all I need is a driver for my Magicolor printer and I can switch
OS,

STrange thing is that I turned it off - got the warning, but the ap
didn''t actually update itself until after a reboot. Then it updated
and ther ap worked. However after a following reboot the UAC was
enabled again, but the ap kept working, so it looks as if it is the
update routine that is not working.

Martin

Hello MartinC,

I found that it's the reason of number of problems
I have a few apps that work verryy strange with UAC, so I decided to turn
it off on my station

Sorry to interrupt, but I am also contemplating moving to Vista and I
have Magicolor 2300L laser printer. Is this the printer you have?
Have you learned any more information about drivers for Vista?

Thanks,

Chris

I have a 2300DL and there are no Vista drivers (yet).

I have also discovered thatPinnacle Studio 10 and Dragon Naturally
Speaking 9 also do not install under Vista.

Thanks for the response. I sent an e-mail to Minolta's tech support
asking about Vista drivers. I don't know if I'll get a response, but I
let you know if I do.

I also installed .Net 1.1 on Vista, and it seems to work. But after a
while I found in the "Event Viewer | Windows Logs | Application" some
Warnings (Source: MsiInstaller, EventID: 1030)
(Warning description:) -----------
Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.
The application tried to install a more recent version of the
protected Windows file
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\sbs_wminet_utils.dll.
[and also the same Warning for the following files:]
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\sbs_wminet_utils.dll.

You may need to update your operating system for this application to

Anyone knows if this is ok?
