Alan, I wrestled with it for the first time under Vista tonight, and it seems no matter what compatibility mode I selected, I always get MLS's "rejection notice". Was there something else you might have done along the way besides that?Alan_Brown wrote:A happy little update : I persisted in my attempts to make MLS 2.9 run under Vista, and my persistence was rewarded.
I initially tried Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (SP2), which didn't work as I described above. But then on a whim I decided to try Compatibility Mode for Windows 2000. Eureka! For some reason, MLS 2.9 works just fine with the test data on my home machine as long as I am in Windows 2000 Compatibility Mode.
So although I still think it would be wise for the MLS developers to eventually make sure that MLS runs under Vista without requiring a special Compatibility Mode, this gives us a way to operate a test installation under Vista until MLS is fully compatible.
I agree with you, there should be a version of 2.9 available to testers with the OS check removed to allow us to experiment with it under Vista.
