mleiser Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I have to install fm12 pro on vista and keep getting an error message. It seems I need administrator rights, which I have. I used a few logins that all have administrator rights. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoib Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi mieser I hope this will help... Use Windows Explorer to navigate to and find the FM12 installer - the .exe - it may be called "Setup.exe". Instead of double clicking that .exe, try a single right click. A dialog will appear and either the second or third item down will be "Run as Administrator". Left click and stand back! I believe this may solve the Windows UAC permissions issues which plague Vista. Yes, I know you're on an Admin account - I get that. This elevated command gets you a "token" with even higher privileges. Let us know how this goes. And will keep fingers crossed - good luck!

mleiser Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 I thought we had something there, but it didn't work. This is insane. I have the software working on other Vista machines and can't figure out what's different here. Any other ideas? I really liked the last one. Thank you Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
