X3 Install vista 64 problem

[nofalloff]

My computer died Monday. The owner got me a new machine built by a local computer shop which has Visat64 ultimate on it. This morning I try to install X3 on it and the installer won't run. Vista pops up the screen asking if I want to run the app, I click yes then nothing. Looking in the task manager under services you can see the .exe is running but there is no CPU time and no matter how long you leave it, it does nothing. I looked on CNCs web site and they have a hot fix that need to be run that may solve the issue, but when I run it Vista tells me I don't have permission to update windows and that I need admin privileges. Well I am logged in as admin. I tried with the web download of X3 as well and have the same problem. Anyone else have the same problem? Is there a work around?

 

thanks

try right clicking and "run as administrator"

Thanks, I didn't know about that. Now when I try to run the hot fix it tells me there isn't enough storage space is available to complete this command and the install fails. There is 932GB unused on this drive.

You may not find this very helpful but don't give up hope on Vista Ultimate 64 bit... I am running it with no problems. I really like it.
