I can't help you, I'm sorry, but I have some Vista questions of my own that I hope someone can answer.
I use D7 and use the XP manifest component currently. Is it easy to modify this to provide a Vista manifest? I've modified my programs recently to write it's configuarion data to a specific subfolder called Data under the installation folder, which is normally under the Program Files folder, and I've also made sure the programs work with restricted user rights. I considered using the Common Application Data area but this will be too difficult when there are multiple installations of my app on the same PC, which is a common occurence. I have Inno setup changing the access rights on the Data folder to read/write/modify during installation Does any of this break the Vista rules?

We use Crystal reports which we understadn is a problem on Vista. So I have been testing our runtime install (the full deployment is a guaranteed no go). It was working!. However the app involved showed with a shield (which apparently indicates running in admin mode), even though the properties for the app were set to no compatability fixes and non admin. So I rebuilt the app with a Vista manifest setting the rights to minimum (user). This removed the shield but broke Crystal. So I removed the manifest but the shield has not returned and even if I force the app to run in admin mode, crystal still fails. I think the issue is the app is no longer 'virtualized'. I have no idea how to turn this setting back on. Does anyone have any ideas, the MS site tells me all about virtualization and that adding a security manifest will turn it off (thats what I did), but removing the manifest has not restored it.
