Re: 988.4 Update Failed VISTA ?????
Depending on security settings, On vista you usually need to run as an administrator for auto update to work right. I have to come up with a fix for this still...
Basically right click the icon you are using to start the app, go into advanced settings and select Run As Administrator.
Then when you start it you will get the regular Vista UAC prompt. Do a check for updates from the Help menu.
There is more detail on running as an administrator here:

Thanks Phil
I tryed this { Basically right click the icon you are using to start the app, go into advanced settings and select Run As Administrator.}
With no luck. then I disabled UAC and that did the trick.
Thanks Gavin.

Glad you got it going...
With Vista getting very common, I need to make things work better with UAC. 1 Trouble is, with 11 computers here in the house, I don't have one on Vista
All on XP, Window server 2003 or Linux...
