hi,

I've got my vista corporate edition installed, first backed up my key and updates off course, and tried to use my key with 3dgs. But now it gives this error:
Can't create output file: c:\Program Files\GStudio6\ms\cpi01.dll
what is happening, is A6 not compatible with vista? Although you all say it is:D

A6 runs under Vista. This is an install problem.

Do you have the proper security settings to install software on your Vista PC?

ehm, where can i set this?? can't seem to find where I should change security settings for this.

I don't have a Vista machine in the San Diego office right now (my beta has expired and I'm waiting for the release version). But if my memory serves me, you have to promote yourself to admin level (or something like that). It should be covered in your Vista guide.

Okay, here's what a friend tells me: "Right click on the key.exe file and select 'run as administrator'".

Let me know if that works.

this worked perfectly, thanks doug. I owe you one!

Hmm, this worked for me, but after I got my key working I tried to update to 6.50 it said it was sucesfully updated, but when I look in about it still says 6.11.4

Hmm, odd.

Apply an update only AFTER you've installed your key - not vice versa!

No, I did I installed my key and then the update.

Still says that.

A certain file - ackwed.dta - in your folder was apparently not updated. It's responsible for the version number. This can happen when you've accidentally set it read/only, or when WED was still running during the update. The update process should give an error message in that case.

Make sure that the Gamestudio folder and all files inside are writable, MED and WED are closed, and you have administrator rights on your PC. Update again, and check that you don't get error messages.
