This is strange. We tested the installation on a couple of different  
systems (not including Vista yet, though), and we have never had this  
problem. Are you using a localized version of Windows, and if yes,  
which? I think we tried both a German and an English version, but you  
never know...

That's right. However, there were some problems with the Gecode/J  
bundled in the MSI. We are currently preparing a bugfix release of  
Gecode/J, which will also come with an updated installer. Maybe you  
want to wait a little while (approximately 2-3 weeks) - we'll let you  
know when we've finished it.

Cheers,
	Guido
