I am installing Vectorworks 12.5.1 on an XP machine previously running 10.5. I have already installed 12.5.1 on two vista machines with no issues, one using a brand new dongle and one using a dongle which was previously being used with 10.5.
When it came to installing on the XP machine i firstly kept getting the error 'cannot find x.zip' where x was a file name i cant recall and now it doesn;t even get that far and just says I need to run as administrator to install, even though I am logged in as administrator.
I have tried deleting keys the registry as shown elsewhere in the forum, but one key will now not delete in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >Nemetshek >Vectorworks 12.
I have updated the dongle drivers, though am confused about the difference between the HASP4 drivers and the HASP HL drivers and which I should be using (I have used the HASP HL drivers for the Vista installs which have worked fine)
Any ideas how I can resolve these issues and can anyone give me guidance on the dongle drivers and when and how to update them properly.
