|Hi,
|
|We tried to install IB7.5 on "Windows Vista Ultimate, RC1 
|Evaluation copy, Build 5600" and get the foolowing error messages:
|
|"You must be root to run the Interbase installer"
|
|And after this message:
|
|"This Application has Unexpectedly Quit
|Invocation of this Java application has caused an 
|InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)"
|
|Click on "Detail" button it says:
|
|"java.lang.NullPointerException
|	at com.zerog.ia.installer.IAStatusLog.a(DashoA8113)
|	at
|com.zerog.ia.installer.Installer.showRulesFailedDialog(DashoA8113)

|
|We've tried to copy "ib75_install.exe" file to C:\ and run it 
|from there and get the same result.
|IB6 installs ok however and our apps run happily on Win Vista/IB6.
|
|Has anyone managed to install IB7.5 on Vista?
|What's the work around?
|
|Thanks
