The support the MS components used in ACT!... which is all you can expect
But still worried that you said you're trying this and not an admin

You said you weren't an admin before in this thread.
If UAC is off and your account says Admin, you should be fine... are you on a work domain, or is this just a standalone?

consultants are costly.tech support should be free, especially since i can't install the software (smile)perhaps the problem is that 2.0 was installed after 3.5, which isn't the normal progression path, if you know what i mean.my copy of vs 2008 is not a beta or trial version.
Consultants are really only expensive if you don't place much value on your own time.
.Net 2.0 is already installed as part of Vista. In XP, you can install them in any order. The later versions are not upgrades... it's only a question of which version the app was written in
Ahh yes, brain freeze. VS 2008 was released last Nov.

off the top of my head, i can't remember where the admin rights are in vista. right now, i'm not using the vista machine, but i will turn it on and will list the options selected for admin rights.
i've run the uninstaller a few times, but it doesn't seem to remove what it should.
now that i've paritally manually uninstalled this mess, i'll run it again.
i will say, that out of all the software that i have ever installed and i've installed more software then most people, this is just too quirky. i didn't have this much trouble installing peoplesoft and oracle.
i really appreciate you taking the time to help me. act/sage should put you on the payroll for sure!The uninstaller.exe from the Knowledge Base (the first item in the list I sent you) is the one I mean. It will get everythingNot the one from the Control PanelThe problems are nearly always with the Microsoft components if there is something odd on the systemBTW: You remember I said to install Office before ACT!?Yeah, it would be nice to get paid for what I do
Please read the KB article closely... it explains it as well as possible with pics.
