Morpho

I used the duo boot on Mac and had the same problem with the install freezng on the Installing... Uninstall_Morpho-1.6.1 section. It is right near the end of the install process.

Here are the different variables that are set for Windows XP versus Vista. I am including this because of the Programs directory being different as well as the Profile directory. With Vista the default location to load Morpho goes to the users home directory rather than the Program Files directory.

To install Morpho on Vista change the property of the downloaded Morpho-1.6.1 install file. Right click on the Morpho install file. Choose Properties. Choose the Compatibility tab. Under Compatibility mode click on the check box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 2). Click on the Apply button then the Ok button.

We need to include this information in the Morpho read me and on Website where people can download Morpho for Windows.

http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/index.jsp - this page has a link for Windows version of Morpho but we need to note that Vista will not install without making the properties changes. So I suggest we just link to the Morpho install page and
get ride of the Quick Download section.

http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/morphoportal.jsp - Under the Linux section we could add:Windows Vista Users please note: (put this part in blue with the section dots.) Then add the text give above.

Now we are using the 4.3.1 and the installer problem in vista has been resolved.
