Good Day Friends,

I received my beta kit last night (March 10th) and after a failed upgrade
install decided to go for broke do a clean install, which seemed to work
much better. At any rate, with the exception of the lack of drivers for my
HP Photosmart 7660 printer and my Philips Acoustic Edge Sound Card (PSC 706)
all is going pretty well. However, I seem to have run into a permissions
problem. I have installed Office 2003 and MS Money 2006 and was attempted to
open my existing (Pre Vista) PST and Money files but each time I am denied
access. The system telle me that I may not have permission. I am the only
administrator on my system and have not changed any of the default settings.
Can you advise?

Thanks in Advance,

Neal Duitz
 
I can test my new PHP system right now :op I think you need to disable UAP
on your computer. Go here:

(Now I hope that PHP thing works now... because I spent 3 days trying to
work out how to direct link to my articles!)

Thanks Andre,

That seemed to do the trick. I followed your instructinons and solved the
problems with the two files. One quick follow up. Should I now re enable UAP
or will that cause the problem to reappear?

Thanks Again,

Neal
 
Well, the thing is is that instead of simply copying and pasting the content
from my site, it's easier to give the link. Why else did you think I made
VistaBase for? For newsgrouping, that's it :o)

Yeh, the more feedback you can give about UAP, the better MSFT will end up
making it... because at the moment, I don't know of a single person who
keeps it on all the time ;o) Hehe.

Zack, can this affect things like program install, as a lot of progs I'm
trying to install end up creating directories and that is about all.

Yeh, UAP can restrict programs installing unless you are the administrator.
Also, if you have UAP enabled and you want to create a new folder in
%programfiles% for a new program group, this might be restricted also. So
yeh, UAP in general tightens things down so that the user cannot make system
wide changes which would then affect other users.

Check out this article, explains it better -

Cheers Zack, will read up later. Did not change the problem I had which was
getting Directory Opus 8 to install though. In the end I ran the installer
and copied the files over from the MCE2005 part of the system and that at
least had got around it. So to me it looks like installers need to be
updated to ensure they are fully Vista aware.
