Suite 8.0.1 Vista install/run issues.

[Nikos T]

I've tried installing Suite 8 (download) twice on my Vista PC and have had the same issue both times. First there is an issue while installing, I get a Windows error saying the external installer has stopped responding and I have the option to close the program, or I can close the error and let it install.

I let it install, and it seems to be fine until I try to run the program, when I get the following error: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

Any idea what could cause this? I purchased the boxed version, so when that comes I will try to install from disc. I've already installed the downloadable version on my Mac without an issue.

Any and all help would be much appreciated
