Re: GSAS on Windows Vista

Hi Davide

To install GSAS-EXPGUI on Windows Vista you have to shutdown the User Account
Control (UAC). After the installation you can switch on again the UAC.

This because, even you are on the sys admin account, the UAC does not allow you
to install some files (i.e. the file gsas.config on c:/).
The result is, for example, you cannot save the options for liveplot .

The UAC does not care if you are the administrator or not, you are not allowed
and that's it.

Similar problems I found with other not industrial programs, but home-made by
physicist.

I have heard reports of problems with running the self-installer.  
This probably requires use of a sys admin account on Vista (and  
probably on XP, too, depending on security settings). If you do use  
the self-installer, be sure to upgrade with the latest GSASKIT, as  
there have been many updates since the last time I put together a  
self-installer.
