Element Manager support for Windows Vista? 2

[MontanaCyclist]

Has anyone heard if there will be a release of Element Manager that is compatible with Windows Vista?

Thanks....

Is there a release compatible with Windows XP????

Only joking they say it is in beta testing at the moment but would not hold your breathe.

Just run the EM setup in "Windows XP compatibility mode" and it will install.

Thanks, Steeef. We've worked a lot with Vista compatibility issues and I've tried every angle on "compatibility mode" without success. I am able to get to the "Installing..." step but then it just sits there without proceeding. Did you try anything out of the ordinary with "compatibility mode" to get it to work? Thanks in advance...

Hello,

I too am running Vista. I've installed Element Manager in a Windows XP Virtual Machine using Microsoft Virtual PC (which is a free download). This may be useful for you if you are having trouble running other applications in Vista as well.

You could try to open the EM setup exe file with winzip/winrar and unpack it. then run the unpacked setup with xp compatibility mode.

Thanks, Steeef. That was a smart idea using WinRAR, and I'll use that idea in the future. Alas, even with the Program Compatibility Wizard, no luck. As Riteeh mentioned, I've been using Element Manager for some time in a WinXP VPC, and am just impatient to not have to use it on a daily basis. Thanks!

It won't install with XP compatibility, but it will in 2000 compatibility.

I was able to install it under Vista, without turning on XP compatibility. However, I had a problem where I couldn't click on Buttons or select options during the install (the install just seemed to freeze). I changed my appearance back to Windows Classic temporarily while I installed the software and it went through without any problems.

Element Manager's now running on my machine without XP Compatibility.

Thanks, gm85! That idea never occurred to us. That will probably come in handy with other applications as well. My Element Manager as well as BCM Monitor are running great.

I second TheDirector. Stumbled upon this with another application, then tried it with the Element Manager and it worked fine. I just did the install with Compatabilty set to Windows 2000.
