Jim, I am (as far as I know) logged in as an administrator on my Vista setup, but sometimes, for reasons that I do not pretend to understand (I'm far from a Vista expert), I get messages of the type «Access denied», even though I think I ought to have it. Thus, for example, whenever I boot to Vista, I get a message from Secunia's PSI to the effect that the programme can only be run by an Administrator and that I should log with administrative privileges and run it again. Go figure ! In any event, if you do succeed in installing and running it on your home machine and it works, I'm sure I'm not the only list member who would find the details of interest....
I have retested downloading and installing and using the Quick Unicode Input utility.
I copied the utility from the website to my desktop. When clicking the utility on the desktop I received the error message you mentioned. Accordingly I write-clicked the install program instead and selected “Run as administrator” and the program installed properly.
I find it now works better under Vista than I remember. Indeed the only problem I noticed was that when using the utility in hex mode, one cannot use Numeric Keypad “.” for hex character “F”. One must instead use the “F” key. I recall that when trying before one could not also not use the “Enter” key for “E”, but that works fine now.
One limitation in both XP and Vista is that one can only Quick Unicode Input for characters in the base plane, that is characters below and including 65,535 decimal or FFFF hex. Attempting to use higher characters produces strange results, and tends to crash OpenOffice.org.
