Vault and Vista

Any status on when Vault will be able to run on Vista?

Im running Vista RC1 Ultimate and Vault cannot start. Any way to get around this?

Vista isn't supported yet by Vault, and I don't believe anyone here has tried installing it yet.

Maybe someone else out there can chime in?

FWIW, I've been testing the Vault 3.5.1 client on Windows Vista Ultimate RC2.

So far, things seem to be running smoothly.

I have it working on Vista RC2 with Vault 3.1.9

I have attempted to install Vault Server 3.5.* on Vista Ultimate RTM with no success. It keeps complaining about me not having IIS installed when I do. Ideas?

Hmmm... I tested with the Vault client, are you installing the Vault client only?

No. This is the vault server application. Not sure why it wouldn't see my IIS installation.

Might be related to an environment variable - See http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=7048 for a possible work-around.

I'm running the vault client on the Vista Ultimate with no problems so far.

I've installed Vault client 3.5.* on Vista Ultimate, and have noticed a couple of problems. After instalation, I can no longer use the IE6 search, or get the list of previous sites in IE6.

Any ideas?

Just running the vault client without instalation works, but I want the instalation for VS 2005 integration.

Some users are successfully using the Vault client on Vista, but we've had other reports from users who've had problems.

We can't be of much help, since we don't yet support Vault on Vista. We do plan to support it, but we'll need to completely test Vault on this new OS first. Vista support will be available in 2007.

I am running Vault Client 3.5.1 on two different computers running vista RTM, one Business one Ultimate, and they both run great.

Vista has IIS7 so I would imagine that is the reason the server version won't install. Maybe Installing "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" inside "Turn windows features on or off" under Programs and features will help. Thats just a guess.

Vista comes with IE7 so i'll assume thats what vminden was referring to. If so my search bar and history still works as far is I can tell. I'm a firefox guy so i don't use IE much, but i just checked and it looks like its working on my box.

We're currently testing Vault with Vista, and plan to provide support in a few months.

I just have to ask...are there any known workarounds/scenarios where I can get Vault Server and Client to run on Windows Vista? That is, have the SourceGear folks found anything that works for them informally (I'll gladly accept, "This works for us, but it's not supported")

I think we've gotten the Vault client to work on one of our Vista machines. However, we haven't fully tested it, so if you run into a problem, we won't be able to help.

The Vault Server doesn't run on Vista.

We are currently testing Vista and plan to have support with Vault 3.5.2, due out in a couple of months.
