Vista puts it's own look on some things, not on others.
Sounds like Windows XP.

You might want to give InnoSetup a try.

Surely removing the manifest under Vista means the common controls revert

have no problem using XPMan for any of my apps under Vista.

Hi Wilfried,
Does anyone know if Delphi 5 will successfully install and run under
Vista? So far I haven't paid for an upgrade as D5 does everything I
need (well, so far!)
Bob Swart http://www.drbob42.com has an article on his web on installing
Delphi in Vista, but I dont hav the exact URL
The next thing is that did I also read that nothing can write to the
DRIVE that has windows installed on it either without special
permissions? So how do I install and maintain my Vista stuff without
having Vista?
Is there a location that I can count on being there where I can
install

I surely understand why you do not like Microsoft decision to include
UAC and Virtualization in Vista, but take a step back and think about
the benefits it brings to YOUR end users. If your end users are like
mine, they're really not geeks, nor computer experts, and they probably
