I have not been able to install either Power Civl XM or Power Civil v8i in Vista. I have downloaded and installed the latest pre-requisite packs. When installing v8i I receive error 2706 and the installation aborts. I have attempted to install from both the MSI file extracted from the installer archive and the setup.exe file. I have ADMIN rights on Vista.
I have NOD32 Antivirus ver. 3.0 running but have not had any problems installing with it running in XP.
I cannot find any known issues in any of the web sources so far.
Hi Neil,
there are no known issues installing PowerCivil on a Vista machine.
Please contact Support for assistance.

I have attached a link below in reference to vbscript.dll registering. This link will explain the process of registering the vbscript.dll through DOS on a Windows Vista machine. It is important to follow these steps carefully. This is for Vista.
