A New Problem I am Having with Build 5308 CTP: No Programs will install on

Disable UAP:

and also ensure that the applications are running in XP SP2 compatibility
mode if necessary.

This issue only existed in my two most recent Build 5308 CTP installs, so
therefore I have filed a Bug Report on it.

 

[Kevin John Panzke]

P.S. I also filed a New Bug Report about the fact that the Windows Vista
Build 5308 CTP Windows Update Program is not working again!

 

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

This information is really off the ball, I use standard Admin account Vista
and I have never had to disable UAP to send in a report or set anything to
XP Compatibility mode. It possible that MBC is just experiencing technical
difficulties at the moment or he needs to simply update the client or
reinstall it.

Andre, I said that no programs will install on Windows Vista Build 5308 CTP
(except MBC which installs just fine on Build 5308 CTP, otherwise I would
not have been able to file 2 Bug Reports in a Row 1 Hour Ago).

 

[Kevin John Panzke]

Now it (Build 5308 CTP Windows Update) is working, however it is stuck at 0%
complete.

 

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

Kevin, stop filing bugs, because they will just be ignored anyway. You have
to be in the technical beta program. Microsoft has a select group of testers
for feedback on Vista and Longhorn Server.

Actually anyone can file a bug Andre, and they're just as important as any
other bug they receive.

No, they are not, the Windows Team does not look into these reports.

I just filed a third Bug Report about the fact that my PS/2 Keyboard does
not resume correctly from standby anymore!

 

[Homer J. Simpson]

Thanks for your hourly reports. This is riveting material.

 

[Zack Whittaker]

And you're the one with the job with Microsoft right?

Guys, come on now.. we're going to scare away the important people (people
asking the questions -- customers) in here if ya'll keep up arguing like
this

Sorry to jump in the middle of all of this, It just seems like a mad house
in here today!

All I am saying is, they are not given the same priority as reports
submitted by the Technical Testers.

Ok, I apologise, you were right, just got this confirmed, they have no
choice, they have to look at reports outside the regular channels of
feedback. Once again, I am sorry.

Actually guys, the problem I see most people having on install are:
Not updating their Chipset inf files
Not updating Bios prior to installation of the operating system
not installing old software's .exe, or installation file in the Windows Xp
SP2 mode prior to installing the software.

if they do those 3 things after activation on the first boot, they shouldn't
have many issues. I realize however, folk with Nvidia , and Via drivers have
a tough time finding the correct inf's and drivers. Especially on pre built
machines. But those that built their own, shouldn't have to many obstacles.
