Ok all of you people are haveing problems installing alcohol 120 on any version of microsoft vista we all know that microsoft have for some reason blocked it.

As always there is a way around everything

To install Alcohol on vista all you need to do is RENAME the exe files

step by step instrctions

1) locate your acohol 120 setup .exe file
2) Rename this .exe to any thing but what it is called. I used Red A (how original is that)
3) Run the installer (Yes it will actually run
4) Install Alcohol
5) Rebot if it you need to install the drivers (No it will no get stuck in a loop as like b4)
6) finish instalation

Now if you try and run "alcholo 120%.exe" this will be bloacked

7) Rename the Alcohol 120%.exe to anything but that (Red A is always original hence the big red A as an icon)
8) run the renamed exe file and there you go. simple as that

any problems with these instructions post here again and i will try and help

With your instructions the program (Trial Alcohol 52%) installed fine on Vista RC1 however I cannot add any virtual drives. I get error 1505 "insufficient privleges" I also got an error 100 before

Any ideas?

Alcohol does not support Vista at this point in time.

The problem you refer to was resolved, so no longer effects XP users who use our software. as your question is based on your problem with installing in Vista i am closing this topic.

We will not accept or reply to requests for assistance with any Vista related problems untill Alcohol is officialy supported in this enviroment.
