I’ve been moving around files and programs from the old XP to a new Vista machine and Infragistics is one of the problems I get while installing on Vista. Just posting it here for my own future reference.

Program Version:

# Infragistics NetAdvantage 2005 Volume2 + hotfixes
# Windows Vista Ultimate

Problem:

The installer runs almost to the end then throws up some compatibility issues errors and didn’t get install properly. The dll library files get loaded in the GAC but cannot load the form design views and also there is no infragistics folder in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client.

Solution:
Need to follow these 4 steps properly.

  1. Disable User Account Control (UAC)
  2. Restart your machine
  3. Edit the System Registry for Internet Information Services (IIS)
  4. Enable IIS 6.0 Compatibility
