I am running FM 7.2 b144 on a laptop with Vista Business. I have the issue
with maker.ini and UAC but otherwise no problems, runs smoothly without
crashes, i.e. like on XP. I just installed the b158 patch without problems
in XP mode as mentioned below.

Hi Denise,

Thank you very much. That solved the problem.

  Rick,

  I am at work (an XP system), not at home on my Vista system. However, if I
remember correctly, right-click on the patch install file. From properties,
one of the tabs says something like run as XP.

 Hi Framers, 
 
 I installed FrameMaker 7.2 successfully on a Vista Home Premium
laptop. I 
 wasn't able to install either of the FrameMaker 7.2 patches because of

 errors with the installers. Does anyone have any extensive experience
with 
 FrameMaker 7.2 and Vista? Are there any issues to be aware of? Thank
you 
 very much.

Re: FrameMaker 7.2 and Vista

Hi Rick,

we installed FrameMaker 7.2 on a Vista Home Premium laptop (2 GB) of one 
of our technical writers last year. The issues we have had so far:

* User Access Control (UAC) did not allow us to change files in
  c:\program files, for example maker.ini. We disabled UAC.
* FrameMaker (and also any other application) is A LOT more unstable
  on Vista than on XP.
* Some features don't seem to work in FM on Vista, for example:
  selecting a (large) number of files in Windows Explorer and
  dragging them into a FM book.

Good luck. ;-)

Kind regards
