Unable to open installer!

[Ainslie]

Running Vista 64-Bit, when I try to open the installer I get an error about something to do with OS compatibility, and when I open the other PR-Core file Monzilla freezes and I have to restart, which freezes causing me to turn off/turn on my PC.

Help!

Please provide the exact error message. Makes it alot easier to help you.

I've deleted the rubbish file and am re-downloading it which is a 2 hour affair, but it was basically:

"Cannot launch programme, it may not be compatible with your operating system, please check if your program is compatible with Vista x86 (32-bit) or Vista x64, then contact your software vendor."

I had PR on XP before, but this is a new computer with a new copy of BF2 and Vista 64.

Still halp!

Try running the installer(s) in XP mode and/or with administrator rights.

XP mode? I've disabled UAC and waiting for Monzilla to stop virus scanning.

Right click on your installer.
choose 'properties' from bottom of list
Click on the Compatibility 'tab'(along the top of the window)
Check 'run as admin' box, and check WINDOWS XP service pack 2
Now run the installer.
