Hi All

We are testing our Apps in Vista but I must admit to having some 
difficulties with the OS.  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.

Arrggghh !
