Big Problem in Vista b5840, please fix it

[hybert]

I'm using Vista ultimate build 5840. I installed D-Tools 4.06 and it can run well. But, I re-install Vista yesterday(the same copy of DVD, the same version) , using Update Mode. After the Update, D-Tools can never run... it tell me :

"initialization error 0."

I can find "DAEMON TOOLS" group in the Programs Menu, but the "Uninstall" function not work:

"Setup is unable to validate installion"

and, I cannot find DAEMON TOOLS in Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

I tryed to re-install DAEMON TOOLS, but when I process to the installation of SPTD, the installer dispears...

I thought the SPTD cause the problem, and then I download the newest version(1.35) of SPTD and try to install it, but It cannot work...

I don't know what to do now...

P.S. My english is not so good, I wish you can understand my words...thx

Considering 5480 is an older version (5744 is the current RC2 build), you won't see a fix for it. DTools devs are working on compatibility with Vista, but they will not go back and fix problems with older beta versions.

He means Microsoft Windows Vista Build 5840 (Pre-RTM), not 5480.

Seems that upgrading does not work:

SPTD 1.35 fixed a problem with vista upgrade.

Do you see any sptd entres in eventvwr.msc -> System? If so, post full details.

I had a problem trying to install Vista 5840 from XP with Daemon-tools. I can mount the .iso-image, but when the installation starts (I click Start Installation/setup), then a compatibility report that is totally empty appears and I can only click Close and then I return to the first menu again. Try again and you loop, loop etc. No error or nothing useful in the compatibility report. Anyone else has that problem? I burned the .iso-file to a dvd and it installed fine from dvd-boot so the iso is fine. Perhaps there is something wrong with 5840 that has nothing to do with DT?
