INstalling Labview application on vista machine.

[Dylan]

As a fairly new programmer, I have written an application, in Labview 8.6, and constructed an installer which works fine on XP but when I try to install it onto a Vista machine, i get an error message as follows:

z:\.....\Volume\setup.exe the parameter is incorrect.

As I say on XP Pro, no problem.  Does anyone have any ideas which might help?

From the drive letter z: I would guess you're trying to install the software from a network drive. Try copying the installer to a local drive and installing it from there. I've had problems calling installers directly from network resources in Vista.

Thank you for that you are indeed correct.  Loading from a local dirve didi resolve the problem.

I'm glad this works. It might also help to right-click the file on the network drive and select "Run as administrator". I didn't try it when I had the problem.

By the way, you can mark a message as solution if it helped you to resolve the problem
