I have it working here now: Vista64, UAC on, run as administrator. I needed
to install .Net 1.1 and 1.1-SP1 and then an updated via Windows Update.



Yes it's .Net 1.1 that app. I've a beta of a 2.0 version but it needs a few
days work on it and I'll not be able to get a start on that till the start
of next week. So if you can hang on till then.



Do you mostly use the GUI, command-line or service version? The last two
need the most work.

* already local admin
* UAC disabled
* tried to copy from progr.. to temp. Same issue.

is this a .net 1 application or .net 2? Think vista had some issues with
.net 1.1. Is the source availibly(hoping for c#) or can it be recompiled
with .net 2 maybe?
