I'm getting this message:
A Runtime Error has occurred,
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 618
Error: 'null' is null or not an object
It then offers Microsoft Script Editor as the only debugging device, which then faults, with the message Cannot create Data Application Folder.
Wtf?
Can I fix it with my OEM Dell Vista disc?
try installing the latest security/bugfixes patches and sp1 if the OS is outdated.
Right, but this is in aid of installing SP1.Quote:

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.
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
Ah - excellent.Quote:

Since it's for SP1, however, it may just work.
Thanks. :)
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.Quote:

vLite is nLite for Vista, silly person.
Diabolical, indeed.
I knew that.Quote:

So did you get the problem fixed?
Not yet; waiting for a few torrents to finish before I take a swing at making a vlite disc this weekend.Quote:

Not even going to try debugging.
Okay-
I'm in on my vLite w/SP1 re-install, which was sweet and easy, apart from my own lack of forethought in running the Firefox 3 beta previously, which renders Mozbackup useless.
I have lost my bookmarks, alas.
Oh, well - live, learn, etc.
Let's see what manner of glitch old Vista comes up with next...
How long did it take you to make the vLite disk, Kev?Quote:

Too bad about the bookmarks...
I did it in Vista...if I subtract the time it took to integrate SP1 (a good two hours), composing and burning the ISO took no more than an hour.Quote:

If I had DLed the post-SP1 hot-fixes beforehand, I suppose that would have consumed more time, but not a lot.
All-in-all, not so bad; I can reconstruct a good number of my bookmarks from Mrs. J's machine, and regard the rest as pruned, or something, and running the post-install clean-up thingie got me a few gigs of space back.
Did you get your 64-bit stuff yet?
Along the same lines, I have hired a student whose auspices may be worth something in the fall. ;)
