Error installing GAX

I am trying to install June release of GAX on laptop with Vista B2, VSTS 2005

VS is closed but I receive a dialog

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing the package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 2869.

When I hit OK, I get another dialog that is blank with an OK button. Once I hit that OK, the package is uninstalled.

I solved the problem.

The problem has to do with UAC in Vista. To solve the problem for those of you trying out Vista here are the steps to install

Create a bat file in same directory as msi and add the following:

msiexec /i GuidanceAutomationExtensions.msi

After saving the bat file, select it and right click. Assuming you have the rights or are running as an Adminstrator, select

"Run as Adminstrator"

When prompted allow it to run

Hi Pete,

I had the same problem on Vista RC1 and the trick with the batch-file worked for me.

Thank you for sharing.

Cheers

Hello Arne, I'm having the same problem with RC1 of which the .bat file workaround has not solved, I initially thought a similar thing might get around this with a simple "@call GuidanceAutomationExtensions.msi" in the batch file, though also proving unsuccessfull.
