Hello

Download the latest version of Flowcode PIC from here. This should install ok on the Vista machine and contains all of the relevant formula flowcode software.

Hello

If downloading the latest version does not help then please can you do the following.

create a shortcut to the exe installer by right clicking the file and selecting Send to -> Desktop.

Once you have done this find the shortcut and right click and select properties.

In the Target text box add the following to the end. "/log c:\log.txt"

You should have something like this in your target text box.

"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Flowcode_SP1.exe" "/log c:\log.txt"

Then click ok and try running the install via the shortcut you created. If the install is failing still then please attach a copy of the log.txt file that is created and we will be able to see what is going wrong with your installation.

I also had a fatal error when installing on to PC with vista.

I got round problem by right clicking in install file, then selecting Run as administrator.

Installed 100% OK.
