Dear Bruce,
Is just to know if is possible to install ifeffit (Artemis, Athena,...) on Windows Vista. If yes, please, let me know how to do this, because I'm trying to install version 1.2.9 but doesn't works.
Please, excuse me if this is not the correct way to ask about this
Ifeffiters: Hopefully Francesc has joined the mailing list so he can read this. A motherboard & hard disk failure on my home computer forced me to purchase a new PC last week. The faster computer has really saved time with all the rebooting and OS reinstalls that I've had to do over the last few days. :( Enough said about Vista. Unfortunately, the hardware is new enough that I can't get a Linux a kernal to load to even start installing Linux. I HAVE NOT tried to install IFEFFIT 1.2.9 under Vista yet. I am volunterring to try tonight and report my findings if the issue is not resolved before then. The 2 things I am going to try (and that Francesc should try) are: 1) Run the ifeffit installer as an administrator (right click on the ifeffit-1.2.9.exe icon to get this option) 2) Do the installation in the Windows XP compatibility mode. If you don't know how to do this, check out http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compati bility-mode/ While I am not a Vista fan, I am optomistic that the combination of these 2 things could work. They have worked pretty well for me installing legacy software (e.g., my favorite spreadsheet program that dates from 1997) and even the Windows XP drivers(!) for my scanner and camera. It has NOT worked for everything, though (like Argonne's VPN client). Since I can dual boot into Vista or XP. My personal solution will be to use ifeffit under Windows XP should the install fail. ------------------------------ Mark P.

Hi Francesc, I am forwarding my response to the Ifeffit mailing list (which is the best forum for questions of this sort.) To join, go to: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit/ I am not in a position to comment. I don't have a Vista machine of my own. Nor does Matt, as far as I know. So we certainly have not yet tested the software on Vista. Is anyone on the list using Vista yet? Any hints for Francesc about getting the installer to work? Francesc, perhaps if you could give us some more information about how it fails -- screenshots, transcriptions of error messages, something that gives a clue as to what the problem is -- someone may be able to make a useful suggestion.
