Well, my guess is that the versions of the software you are trying to
install are out of date. If they are available, always try to install the
latest versions of the software from the Internet, rather that from CD's
that came with the hardware, as compatibility issues with Vista, and other
bugs and improvements, may have been worked out by the developers since the
time those CD's were made. I really do think your Windows Installer, and
its associated system files, are OK; otherwise QuickTime and ITunes simply
would have never installed in the end.
Try this, from Sony. I don't know the model name|number of your Sony
Reader, so start here:
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/select-system.pl
Select your product, from the dropdown of choices, then select your model,
from the dropdown, and then click on Software and Drivers, and then click on
Updates. Hopefully they will have Vista compatible software for Connect
listed. If you have problems, post back the model name of your Sony
Reader...
