I appreciate working with you to resolve this. Inno Setup-based
installers, which JSX creates, do create a temporary directory that is a
subdirectory of your temp directory. Since I am not finding a WinBatch
error message, that helps me narrow where the problem is occuring.
Since I have installed other packages successfully onto Vista, however,
I am currently stumped, and suggest sending me the zip archive as an
attachment (I will only use it for debugging unless you explicitly say
otherwise).
