Well, I been on Vista since Beta 1 and for me there's no going back.
I am running Vista Ultimate, and basically it really outshines XP.
I can also boot into XP, so I am not really stuck, but I enjoy using Vista and look forward to running all my Apps here.
Your mileage may vary!!!

Yes I have 64 bit Vista Ultimate installed, dual boot with XP.... however you loose your vista restore points when you boot to xp.

In any case, is there any word on vista compatibility.

I don't dual boot, each of my installations are on separate HDs, the other was removed when each installed, my two OSs don't know the other exists.
I choose which HD to boot to in the bios.

Johnnynine,

Welcome (back ) to PowerHome! I hope the previous problems are all worked out .

Ive been waiting for my Microsoft Developer Select Media to arrive with the final version (should be any day now). Once it arrives, I'll load it up and do what it takes to get PowerHome running.

Dave.

Hello, thank you. I was looking at PowerHome initially for insteon link management. And I did have some problems, but it looks like PowerHome has come a long way since then. I also shelved my insteon switches for about 8 months or so and am trying to reevaluate lighting control options. So I installed PowerHome in Vista to see if it would satisfy my requirements for linking.

Please let us know when you get the vista quirks worked out.

Thanks

Johnny,

If you've installed PowerHome under Vista already, can you post for me what specific errors you got? A couple of others have gotten varying results and it would help to get as much feedback as possible. I may even be able to come up with something before I get my copy of Vista.

Thanks,

Dave.

I'm getting the Script Server: -2   error as well.

I click OK, then I get this:

A critical error occurred at 2007-02-26 12:59:43.604.

PowerHome Version: 1.03.4.9
Error Number: 35
Error Message: Error calling external object function f_phscrver at line 18 in function f_framestartup of object w_frame.
Window: w_frame
Object: w_frame
Event: f_framestartup
Line: 18



I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit.

Thanks for getting this sorted out soon Dave.

The -2 error means that the PowerHome ScriptServer activex classname was not found. Of course, the f_phscrver function will now fail since the SS activex did not load.

For some reason, the PH ScriptServer does not seem to be properly registering or installing with Vista. Below is a Regedit file for the PowerHome ScriptServer (phscr.pbd in the PowerHome directory).

Code:

REGEDIT4

You could take the text above, edit the file location down at the end for the proper location, and save the text to a file with a .reg extension. Right-click, and select "Merge". It may allow it to work, it may give an error message that could point to what is specifically keeping the ScriptServer classname from registering.

Knowing Vista, there is some new, special way of registering activex controls.

Dave.

I was able to create the .reg file and the merge option was there. I merged it and windows said everything went fine.

Launched PH and got the same errors.

I have the same -2 error as other have reported, even after patching the registry as suggested.

I am running Vista Ultimate 32bit

What would you like to know?

Finally upgraded my last box over the week. For me, there's no going back (I'm subjective) unless I must for a legacy application.

Lonewolf,

Is PowerHome running on your Vista box? If so, could you let us know what was necessary in order to get PowerHome to run?

Thanks,

Dave.

Hi Dave,

I can try it out on Vista but it's been sitting on a server (Win 2k3) -- sorry 'bout that! Didn't mean to imply I was using PH on Vista...

Lonewolf,

Gotcha. Im pretty sure fetzervalve is interested in running PowerHome on Vista. I know it's giving some people fits but Ive heard other reports that they are able to get it running. I still don't have Vista yet so if anyone has successfully gotten PowerHome to run on Vista, it would be great if they could post the steps that were necessary.

Dave.

Dave--

You have a machine you can (and are willing to!) install Vista on? If so, I'll see if I can send you a copy.

Brian,

Hmmm...not really, but if I scour around, I can probably put something together (certainly wouldnt run Aero but should be able to do a basic install).

Ive got a copy of the business edition...Im assuming that it should be sufficient. Basically the same as Home without the media features I think.

Let me get a machine put together and I'll let you know if I can use a copy to load up and test with.

Thanks,

Dave.
