Hi,

Yes, this is the version 8 I was talking about (and almost fresh Vista 32
install). I think it was doing something with drivers when was not
responding for a very long time (only PicKit2 and ICD2 had been selected).
But the good news is that it's now installed - as I said have to leave it to
do whatever it wants to do and whatever long it takes.

With VmWare I am not personally satisfied - using it heavily as part of my
primary job. 6.0 is a bit faster than 5.5 but has serious problems running
them parallel - ok, in my case I would not need that, only one instance of
Win box needed for running MPLAB.

BTW: Think it over again installing Vista, at the moment I am fighting to
tell the OS that I do have enough ram (2G) with virtual memory set properly.
Probably when they will have the SP1 they will overcome of these child
diseases.

Thanks,
Tamas
