I just iinstalled v1.8.0.444 on Win98SE, XP Home SP2, and Vista Home Premium with mixed results and just thought I'd report. I'm a long time jv16 PowerTools user. Some of you may remember me from having problems getting the previous 1.7x version installed on my Win98SE machine. So here goes:
WIN98SE: The first part of the install went okay, but then everything went south. After the install, I opened PowerTools. It proceeded to intro and setup screens. When I got to the one that does the initial scan and sets up the caches, I got the "illegal operation" window and everything locked up. Dead in the water.
XP: Went in without a hitch and no problems whatsoever.
Vista: Installed okay, but it wouldn't recognize my existing Comments database in the Software Manager. I ended having to re-input all of my comments. It was sort of a pita, but all is well since I manually re-inputted everything.
Just fyi.
