Windiws Vista

Hi,
yes, PHPRunner works with Windows Vista.

Just watch out for the insane new behaviour of Vista.

Crucial items are hidden and wait for this message..

This is MS not PHP runner - I am already the administrator

and I cannot alter the template files within my own PC.
Just insane. They were read only - now not but they must also be some

extra MS restriction to stop users using their own PC!
Cheers Chris

Chris:
How did you get it to let you do the build. I just moved from XP to Vista and it will not let me do the build.
Thanks
Jim

UAC (User Account Control) needs to be switched off...

Hey Jim -
I had the same issue when I upgraded to Vista, I would get all the through the coding and everything but would try to go in and do a build and it wouldn't do allow me. I just reinstalled phpr and everything started working again for me. I can't explain why it was doing it, there were a couple of variables in my setup that also changed when I upgraded, I finally killed Nortons and went with Live OneCare and also upgraded to 64bit which might have also been a culprit. I would try reinstalling it though and see if that doesn't help.

P.S. Right mouse-clicking enables PHPR 4.1 start-up under "RUN AS ADMIN" and it works fine with me on one of my Vista Home Basic machinery.

Use the following procedure to disable Admin Approval Mode.
Note: To perform the following procedure, you must be logged into a client computer as a local administrator.
To disable Admin Approval Mode

1. 
   Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click Run, type secpol.msc in the Open text box, and then click OK.
   
2. 
   If UAC is currently active, a User Account Control dialog box will appear. If so, verify that the details presented match the request you initiated, and click Continue.
   
3. 
   From the Local Security Settings console tree, click Local Policies, and then click Security Options.
   
4. 
   Scroll down and double-click User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode.
   
5. 
   From the User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode Properties dialog box, click Disabled, and then click OK.
   
6. 
   Close the Local Security Settings window.

I discovered that the Vista Home Pemium which came on my new laptop which I work on, does not have the secpol.msc program available to allow you to disable the UAC.
Any suggestions before I spend the time upgrading, which will be a major task as I also have a full implementation of Centos 5 running under VMware 6.
Thanks

Jim,
when you run PHPRunner on Vista Home Premium make sure you don't create projects under C:\Program files\PHPRunner directory. Point PHPRunner to C:\Users\<Username>\Documents or similar location. This is basically it.

Jim,

Sergey:
I found that out the hard way! It took me about an hour fishing for the phpr and changing file permissions to find it and copy it to the user docs directory. It compiles

only when I execute the program as admin.
BTW, have you had any success with using VMWare as a testing evironment.
Thanks for your splendid help.
Jim Freeman

Jim,
it runs under WMWare just fine.
I use it to PHPRunner on Windows 98/XP Home Edition.
