Right, but this is in aid of installing SP1.
I've been trying to sort this for several weeks; haven't actually done anything except scans, etc., in order to suss why I can't install it - the only indicator something is wrong system-wise is that sys /scanner runs to 43%, but won't complete.
SP1 doesn't show in updates for me, and I've DLed the multi-language-pack version, but to no avail.
This Run-Time thingie just came up out of the blue, so-to-speak.
Re: Vista Ultimate problem
Probably a silly question but have you tried http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...0921&x=15&y=14 ?
"Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 1 (SP1). This support for SP1 is valid until March 18, 2009. Chat and e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada. "
Edit you might have to go through the location page first. http://support.microsoft.com/common/...4&gprid=500921

I'll try that one later today, hopefully...be nice to find out they'd deal with an OE Dell system; I've heard such support only exists for OSs purchased stand-alone style, and these guys prefer you run to Dell, instead.
Since it's for SP1, however, it may just work.
Thanks. :)
Re: Vista Ultimate problem
Kev, you could always try making a slipstreamed vLite disc with SP1 integrated.
I used an OEM Dell Vista disk to do this and was successful- granted, I was not getting any runtime errors beforehand.

Well, I suppose I could try that if you've already done it with OEM.
What's vlite?
All I remember is nlite...
Re: Vista Ultimate problem
vLite is nLite for Vista, silly person.
Diabolical, indeed.

I knew that.
Since about 1524, I knew that.
Re: Vista Ultimate problem
So did you get the problem fixed?
