Inventor Install with Vista64 Laptop???

[Ziaholic]

I've had a few successful starts of the inventor program, and was even able to check out a handfull of the examples. ... but now, every time I try and start it, I get an error message saying that it stopped responding and WinVista gives me a chance to "send an error report"

I used the uninstaller's repair option, I un-installed and re-installed ... I installed SP1 ... still the same response. It won't even start up.

I'm worried that my download wasn't perfect and I'll have to get it again.

I'm also worried that I didn't use the "Run as Administrator" option enough. For my next attempt, next week, I'll right click each "setup.exe" and Run as Admin.

I'm gonna' have to give up for a week while I'm on work travel. I doubt that the Free WiFi at the Embassy Suites will allow me to d/l an 8.7 GB file.

Bummer. I was hoping to work on the modelling tutorials while I was on work travel this week. Oh well ... I'll focus on my Labview skillz.
