Running Rpv on Windows Vista.

Does Rpv run on Windows Vista?


First of all, the answer. YES, current versions of Rpv Reports run on Windows Vista without problems.

However, this new operating system of Microsoft incorporates some new security features that could cause problems to run certain applications. These problems can be solved with ease.


It is possible that you receive a message like the following:



At this point, it looks like the problem comes from the installation. That is not true. The installation was successful but some components are not able to be executed.

How to solve this situation

There are two ways to solve this inconvenience:

1) Reinstalling Rpv Reports "as administrator"
2) Turning off the UAC (User Account Control) from the Control Panel.



Reinstalling Rpv Reports "as administrator"

To do this, is is possible to log in as administrator and reinstall it or just right click on the installer and select the option "run as administrator".





Turning off the UAC (User Account Control)


This one can be a good alternative too in order to solve the problem.

It is very easy to turn off the User Account Control. You need an administrator account to perform this task.

Go to Control Panel and then select User Accounts



Then, select "Turn User Account Control on or off"



Uncheck the option to use UAC and select Ok.



It is possible that you computer needs to be rebooted to take the changes. In any case, Rpv doesn't need to be reinstalled.
