Windows Vista Compatibility Statement
Harmony Light V5.02 has been released to provide compatibilty
with Windows Vista. This is a free upgrade and can be obtained from the
Downloads page.
Apart from a few aesthetic modifications caused by changes to pixel usage in Vista, the only changes required
were primarily related to security and installation location on your hard drive.
Vista utilises a number of different system folders which provide Virtual Access
to the data. This means, that if you install in one of these locations e.g. ProgramData
each user has their own Virtual copy of the data. Any changes done by one user cannot
be seen by the other. Although this (switching users) would not be a common practice,
it is not acceptable to allow this to occur as it would compromise the integrity
of the database.
In order to counter this problem, we have modified the setup procedure so that you
don’t have a choice. It will always install in the same
folder \Harmony Software\Light5.
The setup procedure will allow you to select which disk drive to install on, but
not change this default folder. In order to install Harmony on
a Windows Vista and XP computer, you MUST be logged on to the computer
with Administrator privileges.
Once you have installed Harmony Light, you are then
able to run the software as a Standard User.
NB: We have tested the
functionality of Harmony Light v5.02 on all Vista versions;
however, we are unable to test the
myriad of different printer drivers.
If you have problems printing from Harmony
Light via Vista, we recommend that
you install the latest Vista compatible printer
driver for your printer.
