I can not run Update #2 for D2006 under Windows Vista. I get a message that
says, "Please cancel this and install Edition of Update 2."
I've even tried installing the update from the command prompt using,
"msiexec /update bds2006_en_pro_upd2.msp", and that gives me the same error
as when I just double-click the *.msp file from Windows Explorer.
I've been following Dr. Bob's Delphic Clinic from:
www.drbob42.com/examines/examin84.htm
Any other ideas?
Thanks
 

I solved (I think) the problem. I deactivated User Account Control (UAC),
and then I was able to successfully run the update. I then re-enabled the
UAC, started D2006, and the About box states Update 2.
However, now some of my 3rd-party libraries can not be seen, and the Install
Packages... dialog gives an error and it can not be edited. I will now try
the hot fixes.
