Hi Edwin, I do have Frame 7.2 installed under Vista but I haven't been using it intensively on this platform - my primary working environment is still XP.
There was no problem with the standard installation of Frame, but I didn't install the included Acrobat Distiller as I already have Acrobat 8 Pro. As I mentioned in my message to the Framers list, I was at first unable to install the build 158 patch, but after trying the following suggestion from Denise L. Moss-Fritch I was able to apply the update: ------- Right-click on the patch file and select Properties. >From the Compatibility tab of the Properties dialog, select "Run this program in the compatibility mode for" check box and select Windows XP (Service Patch 2). Click OK. ------- I haven't noticed any problems with Frame 7.2 on Vista but, as I mentioned, I haven't been using it intensively. Incidentally, I recently had to edit some old Frame 5.5 documents and I was surpised to find that Frame 5.5.6 installed and worked unexpectedly smoothly under Vista. If I had had the choice, I would have chosen XP for my new PC. I find some features of Vista extremely awkward, in particular the new version of Windows Explorer. Hope this helps, Phil Heron ________________________________ From: ETudsbery at cpaglobal.com [mailto:etudsb...@cpaglobal.com] Sent: 28 February 2008 16:07 To: Phil Heron Subject: Re: Frame 7.2 and Vista Hi Phil, I'm interested in your experience with Frame 7.2 and Vista.

I installed Frame 7.2 (build 144) successfully but found I was unable to install the patch to update it to build 158. I know Frame 7.2 is not officially supported on Vista but I am not currently in a position to upgrade to Frame 8. Does anybody have any experience with running this combination? I would be particulary interested in finding out how stable Frame 7.2 is on Vista and whether there is any way I can install the 158 patch.
