For anyone trying to get TradeStation to install on Windows Vista here is how I did it. First I downloaded the TradeStation software on a Windows XP computer. Then I copied the install file to my thumbdrive (you can use a CD, DVD, Network, etc) and transfered it to my Vista computer. When I tried installing it I got a message telling me that it could not install on this computer and to install in on the computer that TradeStation was downloaded to. After about 10 minutes of poking around I figured out how to "Authorize" my Vista computer to install TradeStation. I wrote a little application to assist anyone else who would like to install TradeStation on Windows Vista.

I tried to use it but I got an error message:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {.....} failed due to the following error: 80040154.
Thanks

I tried it to install 3258 on Vista RTM and it does not circumvent the "The Tradestation Setup may only be run on the computer where it was originally downloaded to " error... any ideas?
BTW a big thank you for working on this....
I'll take a look and see what the problem is. I won't be able to work on it until this afternoon. In the mean time right click on "TS Vista Tool.exe" and select "Windows XP SP2" compatibility mode and the "Run as Administrator" option, that might do the trick. Keep me posted either on the comments board or by email.
Thanks,

JT,
I ran the tool in xpsp2 compat and admin and got "error deleting registry key"
Thanks

THEN, it gives a tradestation authorized message and the install works.... but you have to change the TS icon to xpsp2 compat and administrator, then go through user account control to start it...
