When I try to install Schope on my Vista PC, I get the message that the install has stopped working. The same thing happens for the Reaper version and the all hosts version. I also get the same thing with Microschope. I’ve tried running as administrator, but get the same thing.

Ok. I’ll bear that in mind for the future. Anyway Schope and Microschope are working fine with Reaper on my Vista computer, so I purchased them earlier today.
