Well nytiger, copying MA3 from SysWOW64 into the Windows folder (which also contains sysWOW64) does, as PetervH says, resolve the problem of having to use 'install' all the time.

However I see a problem looming whenever one has to do an update because the installer won't recognize where the file is.

If Jim reads this; I know nothing about installers, but I wonder if there is a way to change the install directory with the installer so that this problem could be avoided (can the installer recognize what the OS is?).

I don't know if it's relevant or not but I would point out that Alan Kapler's program is installed directly in 'Windows' and there is no problem with it. Maybe he did it to get around this problem?

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but without some resolution those of us with vista (especially x64) are going to have continual problems. That can't be good.

Anyway, cheers.....
