zdt and VISTA

[drahnier]

Just installed zdt on a freshly installed copy of Windows Vista Business Edition. On first start of zdt - and on subsequent ones -, logged on as a user with admin priviledges I get the error depicted in the attached file.

The content of the log file (Note: the logfile was NOT created in the zdt's installation directories, but - due to Vista's virtualization techniques in the user's private virtual store copy of this folder):

Hmm, so things were working before using the beta of version of Vista right? I notice you're using java 1.6. Was that the case in the previous version as well? Maybe try java 1.5?

I found one reference to a problem similar to yours. But their solution of copying the dlls to your windows/system32 seems like a bad hack.

Looks like I'll have to get me a copy of Vista soon. =)

I had not experienced this problem with zdt 0.6.0 under BETA and RC versions of Vista. Problems started with zdt version 0.6.1 running on the latest two RC versions of Vista available to the general public.

To work around this problem I applied "modify" permissions on some of the zdt installation folders and am running zdt in "XP SP2 compatibility mode".

I am pretty sure the main problem here is that zdt places runtime generated data in it's installation folders and not in the logged on user's private folders.
