Here is how I managed to succeed finally in installing Eagle 5. on my
E-
Machines Vista SP1 computer, after numerous failures:
1. Download and save in the usual way.
2. The program will not install using the Run button on the Download
box. Close the box.
3. Go to the Download section of the computer and find the Eagle
download.
4. Right click on the download, select Properties, select Windows XP
Compatibility.
5. Click on the Eagle download and it will install correctly, as near
as I can tell.
6. Under Accessories, Windows Explorer find the Eagle file and the
Application (.exe file I suppose). Click on Make Shortcut. Move the
shortcut to the computer screen.
It is odd (to me) that the program will run okay under Vista but not
install under it. ? But I am hardly a computer geek.
