Running Shipper 3 on Vista

Several people testing Shipper 3 on Vista have reported trouble. I'm sorry it has been such a struggle. All the trouble seems to be caused by 2 issues:

• Some of the features in Shipper 3 did not run in 64-bit Vista.
• One of the features in Shipper 3 Gold Edition required Administrator permission.

I think I licked the first one with Shipper 3.2 by compiling everything in 32-bit mode (which runs fine in 64-bit Vista). In version 3.1 and before, I compiled some parts in 32-bit and some parts for "Any CPU". That seems to be the root cause of the problem. Let me know if you still cannot run Shipper 3.2 on 64-bit Vista.

The second issue is not a problem for most people on XP, but it is a big problem with the UAC on Vista. The good news is that I just pulled out the code that required Admin permission and replaced it with code that runs without requiring Admin permission. It seems to work great...and it may even be a little faster! The new code will be in version 3.3.
