How to install the 2k3 Adminpak.msi on VISTA 5308

[abuthemagician]

For all those who use software that just won't install, you need to do the following:

1. Find a copy of Ghost AI Builder and a clean XP Install

2. Install Ghost AI

3. Run Ghost AI Snapshot, and follow directions in program to install software you want to use in VISTA

4. Buid the install file as directed in the software

5. Run the New install file in VISTA

6. Enjoy your software

When you run the new installer in vista you will get an error message about user settings not being installed, but that is ok. The software will still install. Below is a link to an install for the 2k3 Adminpak.msi. I am not responsible for any damage this causes and you should never use this in a production environment.

If not downloaded in 40 Days from this post the file will be deleted. If you download it, post the date so people have an idea if the file is still around. The size is 18mb

lol, haven't been able to find a copy of ghost ai builder, would another app work that tracks the files and dependecies that are create by the adminpack?

I would assume so. If you find another piece of software (hopefully OSS) that works post it here.

Oh sweet, life saver. Thought I had to go back to XP to be able to manage my accounts.

The above link and software works like a charm. I ran as admin, cancelled all errors and it worked.

I can now manage my accounts in vista with adminpak.

Sweet,
