Ensure the Daemon Tools key in Software hive is removed, too.

Thanks to Copytrooper and Damadan! Finally got it working.
To get DT to work, download the latest verion of SPTD (v1.50) from here. Delete the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\sptd annd all it's sub keys (to do this, right click on the key, Permissions, set to Full Control. You may have to do this for each sub key first). Install SPTDinst-v150-x86.exe and then reboot (you may have to reboot twice). Finally install daemon4091-x86.exe and reboot. Finish install procedure.
Note: make sure you run both SPTDinst-v150-x86.exe and daemon4091-x86.exe in Administrator mode (right click on each file, Properties, Compatability, tick "Run this program as an administrator."

I know what the problem is ( in some way) the damn upgrade!!! If you have windows vista Full version And did a clean vista install daemon tools will work. IF you have a upgrade version and do a clean install it will also work, but then you can't use your cd-key for vista. - Untill you upgraded vista over vista, and then daemon tools dosen't work. ITS THE UPGRADE THAT SCREWS EVERYTHING UP, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WITCH VERSION OF VISTA YOU HAVE, IF YOU UPGRADED FROM XP OR VISTA, YOU WONT BEABLE TO USE DAEMON TOOLS!

You can do a fresh install of Vista using an upgrade disc, and it will activate just fine. That's the same trick people have used for years with XP, 2000, ME, 98, et al. And as for upgrading, it's generally a bad idea anyway. It causes a number of issues in and of itself, and not to mention it can carry over problems from your previous OS (and sometimes exacerbates the problem further).

I tired to activate from a clean install, it didn't work!

[Jito463]

Did you try activating it over the phone? If you had already activated it once after the upgrade, it will not activate over the internet (at least not for some time). You'll need to call in the activation.

Hi.
I'm a new user with a 1 week old fresh install (full) of Vista Ultimate.
I just bought Deamon tools today, and I can't install it!!
I am stuck in the "Must reboot" loop.
I have tried everything I have found in this forum and it does not make any difference.
SPTD is never installed according to the installers.
I've had enough for one day.
I'll keep looking and hope that a fix for the problem with Vista will soon appear.
