I posted this under number crunching because I thought it was a problem only with the optimized app, now I'm not so sure.

Any help is much apreciated.

from the result:
<core_client_version>5.10.35</core_client_version>

Here's the host

I am [trying to] use the optimized app from crunch3r's site on a prescott (P4 521) running vista.

So apparently this is a problem with UAC under vista. Interestingly, Rosetta works just fine. If anyone has had any luck with fixing the core problem, rather than the workaround pf moving the installed folder, I'd be interested to hear it!

The full fix is supposed to be coming in version 6. Meantime, has to be the workaround, I believe.
