Karaoke Plug-in

I get this message when trying to install Karaoke:
the installer was interrupted before Media Center Kapraoke Plug-in could be
installed You need to restart the installer to try again

Hi,

You should contact the software vendor for assistance with installation
troubles. You might want to try right clicking the setup or msi file and
using 'run as administrator' to see if it helps.

maybe I wasnt clear enough, the karaoke plug-in is a microsoft product. It is
one of the "extras" offered for vista ultimate users.

Hi,

I am unfamiliar with any Ultimate Extra involving karaoke, do you have a
link?

Hi Elitekat,

Ok, I see it, but that isn't a Vista Ultimate Extra, it's for XP MCE and
requires a verifying WGA:

http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/off...d-3ec46a738c1c

From the download page: "Media Center Karaoke Plug-in is designed for
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition". You might try installing and
running it in compatibility mode, but it doesn't look like it's certified
for use in Vista. Just type "Program Compatibility Wizard" into the search
prompt for the start menu entry to appear, then use the option to locate a
program manually. Browse to the downloaded setup file and select it. Use XP
mode to start installation.

Hi,

FWIW, I tried a few different methods of installing that under Vista HP and
was not able to get it to run, so until an updated version is released we'll
just have to wait. I have forwarded this issue on as well.
