Hi,

I'm having the exact same issue as rgwerder had, so I'll copy his issue again :

I have problems by installing the Windows Vista Readiness Hands on Lab.

By starting 'VistaAppCompatDemo.x86.msi' installer Package, something is installed, but I cannot find anywhere the 'WindowsVistaReadiness.sln' solution file.

Does anybody know what the problem could be?

thanks.

regards,

Chris

Hey UnhappyWithMicrosoft: we're unable to provide product support via the blog, but there are other avenues available to you. For one, you can find a list of Windows Vista-related newsgroups here: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx. Or, you might contact Customer Support at http://support.microsoft.com and use the 'chat' or 'email' links to try to resolve this issue. Good luck.

Ok maybe someone on here can help, I am very unhappy with Vista. I bought this new computer for an online college program costing me 28 grand for starters. I get the run around saying its a compaq issue, then they tell me compatibility is a microsoft issue, but to call them they want to charge me more money on top of already spending over 800 dollars in order to fix the issues...NOT COOL. Vista apperantley isnt compatable with anything so far, so why release it yet????? I can't even run my programs and CD-roms for school, but yet neither tech seems to know what to do? So my question is to I continue to run Vista in order to keep my warranty active or put XP back on it and wait for Microsoft to figure out they shouldnt screw over theor customers by putting out crappy (in my opinion) an unready products out there. If the answer is the latter and I should put XP on it and have an upgrade disk for it, how do I do this shy of spending yet more money to hire a professional. Very unhappy with the way Microsoft has changed over the years, and I feel this is rediculous to charge to fix something or even talk to tech support when the problem is yours to begin with not mine. Thanks, sorry for the venting but this is really getting frustrating at this point.

Hey jludeman: check out the entry on the Application Compatability Toolkit at http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2006/11/07/application-compatibility-toolkit-5-0-rc-for-download.aspx, as this toolset will help you make this determination.

Will most of the software that runs on XP still run on Vista?
