Most executables can be run under Vista/7 as an administrator, but not so with .msi installers. When attempting to install Tivo.NET's msi package under Vista, I receive an error code relating to UAC. If the .msi package fails to install, do the following.

Find the command prompt icon on your start menu. Right click, and choose 'Run as Administrator'.

When the command prompt opens, navigate to the folder where you have the .msi package and run the following command.

msiexec /i myfilename.msi

This should allow the .msi package to install correctly.
