>I am testing an app install for a vb developer. Vista keeps telling my that "The installer" doesn't have permission to continue with intallation. I haven't been able to find a way around this one yet. I am the administrator with complete access permission. It's the installer that has the problem. Anyone have a way to get around this one?

Right-click on the installer and tell it to run as administrator. You may be logged in to Vista as administrator, but that doesn't mean applications run as administrator unless specifically told and allowed to.
