Hello, You can not simply "copy" program files to Vista, as Vista has feature called User Access Control that prevents even administrators from placing files inside "Program Files" and registering program components.
On Vista you absolutely MUST run setup program first http://www.amibroker.com/bin/AmiBroker500.exe and only AFTER that you can copy the files Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "KBGlenn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2007 11:51 PM Subject: [amibroker] Vista Transition - Help > Maybe I screwed this one up from the beginning...but I recently > purchased a Vista based laptop and did a simple full copy from a > separate backup drive that I use with my Windows XP machine.
