SDM install on Windows Vista

[MikeFulstow]

I am trying to install SDM and when launching the setup.exe it immediately displays Error -6005 suggesting either closing all running programs, clearing temporary files or checking Internet connection. None of these stops the error occuring and I cannot install. The laptop has previously had SDM installed - can anyone please help?

Only SDM 2.5 is supported on : Microsoft Windows Vista (Business Edition)

Make sure you stick to the release notes for the java version, the browser version.

You can also try to install SDM on the router (copy over TFTP the files to the router's flash) and then just access it from your browser by pointing it to the ip address of the router.
