Have you checked your security settings in Vista? It's normal to get a warning message when installing under XP that the publisher is unknown, so could be a security risk. That's about the only thing I can think of... maybe it's looking for a recognised certificate???

Thanks Al, it is obviously a quirk with my operating system. I have been able to install it, sort of. Double clicking on setup.exe just results in the error messages that I have previously mentioned. However, bearing in mind that I am unzipping within ZipGenius6, if I open the "Actions" drop down menu and click on "Install", with setup.exe highlighted, it does install and your most excellent clock appears. The UTC is spot on for CSST.

However when I try to close the application I get an "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application" error message but if I repeatedly hit "Quit" eventually it does close. Then the next time I try to open it from my Programs list I get a Microsoft,NET Framework message "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application" message but by being persistent and hitting "Continue" a couple of times the application open and all is good.

Have used uninstall/install several times with the same result. I am now just happy that it will open and close for me, it doesn't matter that it takes a couple of attempts. I really like this application of yours and it does run on Vista Ultimate with ZipGenius6 and is correct for UTC with daylight saving.

Thanks for the advice but I had already tried to do that with no luck. By right clicking on setup.exe in ZipGenius6 the resultant menu does not have install as administrator as an option.
I have now got it working but obviously there is still a problem with it and my operating system but I am happy to be able to use it anyway.
