I guess what I really want to know is - because 3.317 is already on my laptop with Vista, will I need to go through that process of moving files (out of Program Files) before I can upgrade/install even 4.0?

I know at one point Admin did recommend NOT putting Hoster on Vista. Do you still feel the same way, or would you still recommend downgrading to XP?

Even with 3.317 on Vista you could be vulnerable.

I had Hoster 3.315 on my laptop with Vista and seems to be working fine (my last downloaded upgrade is 3.315). I bought 3.321 upgrade but it would not install on my laptop with vista home premium (access denied). I wrote to HP about downgrading my OS to XP pro, they told me I have to buy the XP on a retailer and retail version would not work on my laptop b'cause some driver issues. They gave me a litany of links for all drivers and it just overwhelmed me. I would just stick with it for awhile with this 3.315 on my laptop until I got my Desktop rebuild and going (XP pro OS) and perhap would asked MTU how to de-authorized my laptop (vista) so I could use my registration on rebuilt desktop.

It should install. What was the exact error message?

Feature Tranfer Error, Feature: Holster, Component: App Executables, File - , Error: Acess Denied. I tried several times with the same results. Even when I tried to re-install 3.315 it would give the same error. I have to do restore to the last known restore point on my laptop so I could have hoster back. I believe I have corrupt (Vista) OS.

Did you try turning off the uac, to see if that worked.

I put 3.317 on my new Vista laptop & I know it was a lot more complicated than it was when I installed a previous version on my old XP lapt. So, make sure you followed ALL the instructions for installing Hoster on Vista. Missing just one detail could cause the problem.
