Only if what it's trying to
do is also compatible. I.e. the .net packaging works but that doesn't guarantee the code it contains will work in the OS. I don't know if it's possible to write something in .net that wouldn't be compatible with Vista (I'd think that not compatible with an earlier version would be more likely), but that doesn't mean it can't be done (I'm really,
really new to .net, so salt liberally).
In this case, however, my private suspicion is that the install routine might be asking if the OS is WinXP, and if the answer isn't 'yes' it just takes its marbles and goes home.
