Anyone successfully able to install Compaq Visual FORTRAN 6.x on Vista?

Tried the other day, but did not have any luck, so just wondering if obsolescence is upon this ol' compiler.

Thanks again.

A: 

I have heard that if you right click on the setup icon and click "Run as Administrator" then it works. Good luck. I am trying to find fortran for Vista still...

Cool. I will be very interested to see what you find. We have almost completed the port over to Intel FORTRAN, but are still unsure if it will install properly on Vista, but I am guessing probably not.

A: 

You could always run a VM with whatever OS it was written for. Not the most elegant solution, but it's not like Vista is exactly the best operating system anyways. Have you ever considered upgrading to XP?

I think it needs to have Visual .Net SDK 3.5 SP1, I am trying!
