Unable to install v1.2.9 on vista

Glad to hear it.

Have you installed vc_redist? (see here)

Are you logged in as admin? Edit: Just seen you are

Also some users seem to have had some joy using "GBPVR10209.msi /passive" to install

I'm no expert on this - just seen what others have been posting...

I just got a new PC with VISTA (never used it before and ran across this 1721 error. I am not sure HOW you're supposed to run as administrator (right click "run as admin" doesn't work on this msi, but I ran a cmd window, holding CTRL-SHIFT and pressing enter which apparently runs that as Admin. I then ran GBPVR10209.msi /passive and it seems to be OK, so far.

Goodness knows WHY Vista is so difficult with this....

Vista sucks, but that's for another thread...

Here's a link to how to enable the "real" Administrator account in Vista:

Once I did that, I was able to install 1.2.9 on my kids Vista PC.

Funny, I had no problem whatsoever installing GBPVR under Vista (as a client).
I guess, sometimes even I get lucky.
