Anyone been able to install Flex Builder 2 on Vista?

Question

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to get Flex
Builder 2 to install
on Vista RTM yet. I can get Flex Builder 2.0 installed but
when I try to
perform the 2.0.1 update I get an error from the Install
Anywhere
application that I need to "select another location to
extract the installer
to" but no matter where I install it or if I try to run it
from the temp
folder as the error is displayed it doesn't work.
I know this is only like the 2nd day or so Vista has been
available to the
public but I am just wondering if anyone has had any luck so
far with
perhaps a beta or the business release?
Thanks,
-Dan

Answer 1

In case anyone else is having this trouble I found out a way
that I think is
able to update Flex Builder to 2.0.1. If you download the
updater on an XP
machine then use WinRAR to extract the files in the .exe you
should be able
to move that whole folder onto the Vista machine then run the
FlexBuilder2_Updater.exe file from there without any problems
or errors (I
set that to have admin and run in XP SP2 compatibility just
to make sure).
So far it seems to be working fine.
