Dear trustedJava users,
Here are a few remarks on Windows Vista support.
* Only Vista 32-bit is supported for now. This is a restriction of the
setup/install scripts and the system service loader module.
* The setup.exe provides only runtime support for TCS. For developers it
is recommended to (also) use the complete .tar.bz2 version. Among others
it provides more documentation.
* The native library accessing the TBS (Trusted Bases Services) requires
MS Visual C+ 2005 SP1 runtime libraries. On some machines, you need to
install

before using jTSS. This will be included in the next release.
Without these libraries, you might experience an error like
ERROR] TcTddlVista::<clinit> (39): Unable to load native Vista DLL
(neither from library path nor from jar file).
* If you receive a TPM-Exception like:
iaik.tc.tss.api.exceptions.tcs.TcTpmException:
TSS Error:
error layer: 0x00 (TPM)
error code (without layer): 0x00
error code (full): 0xac040000
error message: Success.
with an error code where the first 2 bytes are not 0x0000, this is not a
TPM issue but a TBS error code. Perhaps the TPM is not enabled or some
commands might be blocked.
* You will need to unblock some commands of the TPM for some TPM
applications (including jTSS test cases). To learn hopw to do this (and
about Vista TPM support in general), have a look at
