Will the 2006 ProSeries software and prior years run on the Windows Vista operating system?
The 2006 ProSeries software and prior years were not designed to run on the Windows Vista operating system. Windows Vista has several significant differences from other Windows operating systems. As a result, our quality assurance analysts have been testing 2003 through 2006 ProSeries programs on Windows Vista operating systems. For more information see Installing a Prior-Year ProSeries Program on a Windows Vista Operating System.
Note: Some prior years, may not run properly using the Windows Vista administrator option. You may want to consider keeping a system that uses the Windows XP operating system for running prior years of ProSeries software.

Downloading and installing 2007 ProSeries products and updates will function on all Windows operating systems supported by ProSeries, including Windows Vista.
Important: When installing a 2007 ProSeries program if you do not accept the default folder install location and attempt to change it to a folder under C:\Windows or C:\Program Files you will receive a message indicating that some users may not have access to the folder specified. This is due to the User Access Control (UAC) policies in Vista and can be avoided by not installing under these folders.
