Microsoft Vista problems with installing LearnKey CDs

Symptoms:

You may run into a couple of different problems when using the LearnKey CDs on Windows Vista. These errors may include a false reading of your installed version of Windows Media Player, no sound card detected, and a bad image error.

Detailed Information:

Due to the security changes Microsoft has made on the Program Files directory, we recommend you install the LearnKey training into a different directory path. With the release of Vista, some dll file locations were changed that help identify the version of WMP, sound card settings, etc.

Solution:

1. If you have not yet installed the LearnKey CD skip to step 7
2. Click on Start
3. Click on Programs
4. Click on LearnKey
5. Click on Uninstall
6. Click on Uninstall LearnKey Training
7. Insert the LearnKey CD
8. Click I agree to the License Agreement
9. Edit the install path to delete the words "Program Files " and one of the backslashes
10. Continue with the installation, ignore any error messages that show up
11. Close the LearnKey training when it completes
12. Go to http://www.LearnKey.com/downloads
13. Scroll Down to the CD-Rom section.
14. Download the VistaVelocity_Upgrade_4_0_2_382.exe
    (or a more recent version if available which would have a number higher than 382 at the end)
15. Install the downloaded file
16. Start the LearnKey training
