Interesting,
As I just said to Mike, I keep all my data on a different drive but I let
Windows/Vista put programs in C:\Program Files\...
I've had no problems with R:Base on Vista either - other than this oddity of
my own making - v7.5/6 have both been fine.
Regards,
Alastair.

Mike and Alastair, I have SP1 installed and doing fine. No trouble with
R:Base at all. By the way SP1 for XP cleared up well over a thousand
bugs.
It must be getting better these days -- right? Alastair I've gotten to
the
point that I never install programs on drive C. I leave that just for
Windows and have been pleased by the fact that it's worked probably
because
I haven't gotten a hit to the drive the programs are on. Fact is I put
R:Base on its drive and then create, as you no doubt do, a separate folder
for all the database issues. By the way I have installed 6 versions now
of
SP1 and have had no problems at all with R:Base throughout it all.

Over "550 bug fixes and issues fixed" in the Vista SP1 due out soon...
I don't know if that makes you feel any better or not, but I try, even if
it
is
in small ways ;-)

Many thanks, Razzak,
Not much of a mess but I renamed an account in order to keep all the
settings
that I had already and then created a new account with the (then unused)
original user name.
What that did was to have all the default user folders pointing in the
wrong
places!
So I created two new user accounts from scratch and then deleted the
older
ones - after setting my desktop up as I wanted it again. What that seemed
to
leave was some pointers to the old accounts in various directory
permissions
and owners.
Almost everything works fine but I just suspect that the owner of
C:\RBTI\...
is not what Vista expects which might mean that read/write permissions
are
not correct. I'm hoping that re-installing from the new administrator
account
will put any anomalies right again.
It's clearly not an R:Base problem as everything was fine before. My
databases accept and return data with no problem - it's just little
oddities
that I suspect are written to C:\RBTI... or maybe C:\Windows\... that
appear
to hiccup.
Regards,
Alastair.

Am I right in thinking that using the Vista uninstall is the right way

do
this?
Alastair,
Before re-installing R:BASE 7.6 for Windows, using the full installer,
you must un-install the previously registered version of R:BASE 7.6 for
Windows.
Use "Uninstall or change a program" option of the Vista Control Panel.
Following the correct procedure, if you still encounter the same
message,
you may remove the following product key from the registry in order to
re-install R:BASE 7.6 for Windows.
Here's how:
Start | Run | REGEDIT | Main Menu | Edit | Find ...
{1F5DE9EC-C06A-4657-B580-BFF743BBEE84}
You'll find these product keys in "two" places. Once found, carefully
delete them.
Can I presume the same activation keys should still be used for the new
install?
Yes, as long as you have not changed the Hardware and OS.
Am I right in thinking that I need only install the original full
installation
and the latest update (RBG76_Update2_01022008) or is there a newer one?
Correct!
The upcoming Update 3 of R:BASE 7.6 for Windows (Build 7.6.3.30214),
currently under Private and R:Developers Beta, is scheduled to be
released on February 14, 2008 (7:56AM EST).
Is the default directory better as C:\RBTI\... or should I put RBTI\...
in
Program Files these days?
FWIW, C:\RBTI\RBG76 is the recommended folder. You may install the
version anywhere on your PC, if you wish.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
P.S.
Just curious ... what did you do on your Vista to result in such a mess?
