Daemon with Vista

[Copytrooper]

Which Daemon Tools version did you install!?

[Jito463]

Or perhaps more accurately, what version of Vista are you running? Beta 2? RC1? RC2? Final? RC2 onwards should not have a block for DTools (I know it was removed for Alcohol in RC2, and I believe DTools had the same block until that point).

Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Daemon Tools 4.08HE
STPD 1.42.

The only thing i know, is that the drive appears under other devices in the device manager, and it says that the hardware is working as it should, but no drive appears in my computer...

This goes for both Alcohol and Daemon

[tbensmann]

ok, i got it now...

if you run Vista and the drive doesn't appear:
1. Control Panel >> Device Manager
2. The drive will be under other devices
3. right mousclick on the drive >> Update driver software
4. Here you must let the wizard search in C:\Windows\System32

it will now recognize the driver, and it will work!

got deamon tools working with vista

First of all, the upgrade from XP to vista was a disaster - some remnants were still lying about - had to do a new installation of vista ultimate from an upgrade dvd.
Some support guy at ms suggested not to use daemon but some alcohol stuff instead. The pc would not reboot after the first step of the 'alcohol' (which by the way looks like daemon to me), had to retract to a safe state of window.
Created a safe backup point, started the daemon (32bit) for vista installation, requested abort at the prompt to reboot now the system, did some other work on the pc, then rebooted without problem ( was expecting another disaster...).
restarted the installation of daemon - there was no message to reboot the system this time - and the installation went to a happy conclusion - tried the daemon right away.
rebooted the system - everything is still working - am I lucky !

Already tried running as administrator. That didn't make any difference.

There are no devices in Device Manager so I can't update drivers etc.

I'm completely stuck.

@Distorted-Vision
But what build are you running? Is it the final release? Is it one of the Release Candidates? Is it one of the Betas?
