See if the Crystal Reports Design forum can provide more help as they also support installs:

It's been a couple of hours with no luck getting any response on that forum

This is not a Crystal/BO error. This is essentially a consequence of enhanced security in Vista and the fact that one needs elevated security privileges to install Crystal.

Now, I:/ is a network share that is user specific. Network shares are lost when one goes into the elevated security privileges mode required for installation.

The solution is [here|http://discuss.pcmag.com/forums/thread/1004389459.aspx] (the 2nd post).

Crystal Reports XI, release 1 (11.0) is not supported on Vista. You will have to upgrade to CR XI release 2, with the latest Service pack.

CR XI r2 can be downloaded from here:

SP 4 is here:
