Coming in v9.2 - more Vista issues

Posted on December 31, 2009

There have been 2 changes made to the upcoming version 9.2 of RentMaster because of Windows Vista issues.

After running a software update, normally it would automatically restart RentMaster.  Unfortunately now it will not.  That is because in Windows Vista, the update must be run as an administrator.  When the update completes and it automatically restarts RentMaster, the restarted version is now also running as an administrator.  This can cause a lot of confusion if you don't normally run as administrator, because it will now be looking at a different database.  Because the update process can not detect what version of windows you are running, this will affect all users.  It simply means you will need to start RentMaster yourself manually.

The second change is the disabling of the database compaction option for all users who are running Windows Vista, and who are not running as an administrator.  This was causing too many problems, so now it has been removed.  This only affects people running Windows Vista and Windows 7, and are not running RentMaster as an administrator.
