Hi Amy,

There doesn't seem to be any interest in installing Vista in an alternate location. For the next beta, these instructions explain how to start/stop the OpenLaszlo Server in Vista. I still need to check if the second option can be done automatically when the installer runs. If so, perhaps we can do this for 4.2.

Thanks!

Phil


==================================

Running OpenLaszlo Server on Windows Vista

There are two options. The first option is to manually ask for administrator privileges whenever you want to start or stop the OpenLaszlo Server.

1. Navigate to Start->All Programs->OpenLaszlo Server->Start OpenLaszlo Server.
Right click and select 'Run as administrator'. Click 'Continue' when Vista displays a dialog box asking for permission.

Use the same procedure to select 'Stop OpenLaszlo Server' or 'OpenLaszlo Explorer'.


The second option is to modify the application shortcuts to run as administrator whenever they are selected.

1. Navigate to Start->All Programs->OpenLaszlo Server->Start OpenLaszlo Server.
  Right click and select 'Properties'
2. The properties dialog box should open in the 'Shortcut' tab. Click on the 'Advanced...' button.
3. Click on the checkbox to 'Run as administrator' and click the 'OK' button.
4. Click the 'OK' button on the 'Shortcut' tab. Vista will display a dialog box asking for permission to change the shortcut settings.

Follow the same procedure for the 'Stop OpenLaszlo Server' or 'OpenLaszlo Explorer' shortcuts.

Note, Microsoft Vista will still ask for permission to run as an administrator. However, you do not have to remember to run as an administrator each time.
