RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 and Vista
Good to know, thanks Kerry! And why did the heavens allow Vista to be unleashed upon the world? Jason Merrill Bank of America GTO LLD Solutions Design Development eTools Multimedia Bank of America Flash Platform Developer Community
RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 and Vista
After a week of incantations, I have found the magic procedure that makes Flex run on Vista. You can't just click on the shortcut to run Flex, at least the first time. You have to right-click and Run as Administrator (you have to be an administrator first, of course). Otherwise, Flex crashes with what looks like a Flex error, but is actually a Vista security issue. Flex Beta 3 is running fine for me now-finally, after a week.

I've had major trouble installing Flexbuilder 2 and Flexbuilder 3 beta trials on Vista Home Premium, I never was able to get it to work. That after multiple proper uninstalls/re-installs and asking on this list about it. Extremely disappointing. The installers ran, and then when you go to launch, it gives an error and fails (can't recall what the error was, but it was Flex specific, not a Vista error). Installs of FB trials on Windows XP worked fine.

Installs of FB trials on Windows XP worked fine. However, you mentioned you also installed the Flex SDK, which I have installed on Vista Home Premium and it works fine in conjunction with FlashDevelop as the editor. I don't know if installing the SDK is what messed up my FB trials, as you may be experiencing that as well.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 and Vista
I may have just run into a big problem. I was running Flex 2 on my XP machine, but I got a new machine with Vista (home premium). Now my Flex install won't run (I downloaded the Flex 2 SDK trial). Is Flex 2 not compatible with Vista? If not, I assume the Flex 3 beta is. Cordially, Kerry Thompson
