I am attempting to load MS Studio 3.004 on Vista Home Premium. Receive error 0x80040702 fail to load dll: ISMTU. Vistal is completely updated and is running the lates dotnet.(ver3). I have also completed the registery edit as described in one of the other posts. Still receiving the error.

Microstudio 3.004 is not compatible or loadable on Vista. Miscrostudio 4.006 is compatible. You will need to purchase an upgrade to get it to work.

My suggestion then would be to put in a Support Email for Sales and ask them about this. It is a situation I don't think they thought about when implementing the new procedures.
I have thought of one other thing that could be keeping you from loading the older version (it won't work right, but if you can get it loaded then you could upgrade) and that is to check to make sure you have .net framework installed. Check you Add/Remove Programs in control panel and see if it is there. If not go to Microsoft updates and install it.

Ahem..correction! Let's not go starting any more false rumors. Microsotudio 4.006 works on Vista 32bit. It blows chunks on Vista 64 bit. Of course MTU left that part out for all of us unsuspecting purchasers.

hohn5178 already said he/she is using Vista Home Premium which is a 32 bit version, so therefore the information I gave is correct. We all understand that you are upset because it won't work on the 64 bit Vista, but then it won't work on older versions of of Windows or OS/2 or Macintosh either. The fact that it won't run on Vista 64 is also stated directly on the webpage for Microstudio. And they are scheduled to try to find the problem and fix it in August.

I hear ya and I am frustrated. However I will point out that MTU didnt put anything on the web page about not running under Vista 64 until well after I posted several times and emailed them to no avail. Finally when I started ranting on the forums...they updated their webpage.

I sure hope they fix it. Hopefully they will learn a valuable lesson about Quality Control and testing. It sucks having to run a VMWARE version of WINXP from vista just to get this one program to function.

[ok..I feel better now]

Considering that we are talking about a small 3 person company how do you expect them to QC on every format of XP and Vista that is available. I don't believe any of the beta testers has or at the least had Vista 64 bit at the time 4.006 was released. The worst part about it is every form of XP including the 64 bit version all work and most have a core operating system that is the same. Vista on the other hand adds things to the core that cause programs to work just fine in some and not so well in other versions. I know those guys are getting very frustrated with Vista and all its quirks and bugs.
Just out of curiosity how many other programs do you have on that computer that do not work correctly in Vista 64 bit?
