  Re: Installation on Vista

  This is a vista problem with read-only files.
  
  Try doing this:
  
  1.. Find the folder you need access to from an explorer window
  2.. Right-click it
  3.. Click Properties
  4.. Click the Security Tab
  5.. Click Edit
  6.. Click Add
  7.. If you are the only one that needs modify access to this file, type
  your username and press enter. Otherwise, type "Users" and press enter.
  8.. Click the checkbox under Allow next to Full Control
  9.. Click OK
  10.. Click OK
  NOTE: This will work on folders that you have created or folders that directly contain your files, such as My Documents, but will not work on system folders such as Windows, Program Files, or Documents and Settings.

  Re: Installation on Vista

  In addition to that, ATutor was not tested in Windows Vista, I would suggest you to use another Operation System to avoid future problems.

  Re: Installation on Vista

  Unfortunately we don't have a Vista machine to test the installation out. You may want to research a bit for the read-only files problem in Vista.
