Could you provide a manual install or a setup.exe that we can "Run as administrator" in order to install in Vista?

I cannot live without GhostDoc!

Could you please try the following (note I haven't tried it myself, I don't have a Vista system at my disposal right now):
  • Create a batch file in the directory where the MSI file resides, containing the following line:
    msiexec /i GhostDoc1.9.5.msi
  • Right-click on the batch file and select "Run as Administrator"

That did the trick Very Happy.

Just include the full path in the BAT:
Code:
msiexec /i "C:UsersJuan Romansour creamGhostDoc1.9.5GhostDoc1.9.5.msi"


And select Run as Administrator

Hi,

another easy workaround is to start a command prompt / dos box with admin rights and start the GhostDoc1.9.5.msi from there.

Goto the Start Button and search for cmd (e.g. by typing in "cmd" in the search area)

Right click the cmd.exe and start it "As Administrator".
(This new command box has elevated rights now.)

In the command box navigate to the directory where you downloaded GhostDoc, type in "GhostDoc1.9.5.msi" and ENTER.

The setup starts with elevated rights and works fine.
