Can anyone tell me how to install Wp 12 on Vista?

I can't install 13 until I install 12.

WP 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 all run under Vista.

thanks
 
Don't know about WordPerfect 13, but do you mean WordPerfect X3?

Have you tried running the install under Win2k compatibility? You can't
*use* any release below 11 under XP, let alone Vista, unless your login is
an administrator, because the templates, quickwords, etc..., are stored
under the "Program Files" tree. Vista will virtualize these files, but the
response time suffers.

My friend is a big fan of WordPerfect. He has installed it on the latest
build 4365 with no error messages. Is your version an upgrade or full
version? What is your version # of vista?

Why do you need to install 12 in order to install X3? In my experience (I'm
a long-time WP user - since v3.1), you can install X3 over 11 without
trouble. You can even install it without a prior version being present.

Wordperfect 12 installs and runs under Vista.

I don't know what allowed this to happen but
Step 1. Ctrl-Alt-DEL, disabled 'trustedInstaller"
Step 2. Start, run, msconfig. Under Services, Disabled all. ( I did
not reboot the machine. After installation failed, I then re-enabled
all services.

rebooted

WP does worked.
 
If you disabled the cryptography service, it would explain why the setup
didn't go smoothly. Windows Installer requires it.

Installation of Corel Wordperfect 13(X3) is possible. It is a pain.
Unless someone has a better idea.

1. If you do a start, run, msconfig. Click on services. Disable all.
Then reboot the machine, installation fails as no services on the
machine on running nor can any be started.

2. If you copy all the CD installation CD to the hard drive and start
the installation proces there. It may work.

3.If you then right click on "setup.exe", go to properites and click
on "compatibility mode" and use WinXP and run as administrator.

I need items #2 & #3 to get Wordperfect to run.
 
On the latest build 5365, X3 installs fine while watching a friend of mine
install the software. Nothing was disabled and no errors.
