    Hi
    I am trying to run a program MicroNicheFinder which fails to install on my Vista (service pack 2) computer with the error dialogue box appearing everytime I run it saying
    'Program Error-Invalid filename or path'

    I have contacted MNF help & they are not able to fix this!
    Can anyone here give me help & advise to get this program running?

    Here is a dir list of MNF:
    C:\Program Files\Micro Niche Finder
    C:\Program Files\Micro Niche Finder>dir
    Volume in drive C is .
    Volume Serial Number is 58F6-6F2A

    Directory of C:\Program Files\Micro Niche Finder

    I doubt we can help if the parties responsible can not. I doubt the software is compatible with Vista at this point.

    There's no information on their site regarding OS compatibility.

    The only suggestion I have is to right-click the installation file & choose to run it in Windows XP compatibility mode.

    MNF Vista help

    Thanks Arie
    I am still at a loss with this.
    It does not run in XP compatability mode.
    It will run on Vista (I know as it runs on my Vista Laptop) but it will not run on my Vista desktop! So it is Vista compatible and there must be a local issue with my Vista machine stopping it working!
    Someone surely can get this running for me!?
    It is frustrating MNF support have given up with it but there must be some Vista programmers somewhere who can help me sort this?!
    Where can I go for more help? Microsoft support forums?
    Any suggestions?
    I will search but as I do not know where to look it is a problem!

    Regards

    Richard

    Sorry for the delay, I'm traveling.

    You could try other forums, but what you need to find is a forum/group dedicated to the software in question.
