Windows Vista Packaging 

Windows Vista is Microsofts exciting and eagerly awaited new operating system. With it come the usual challenges of ensuring hardware and software are compatible with the new desktop environment. These days you also need to think about your existing and future application packages. If your packages were created for a previous version of Windows there is a real possibility that a significant number will fail to install on Windows Vista. This is mainly due to the security changes within the operating system, and affects the way in which custom actions can be implemented. The new security model also affects the general operation of the installed software. Local Administrators are no longer an option under Windows Vista. This presents challenges when packages have been created without considering the need for functionality in an environment where users have restrictive permissions to both the file system and the registry.
