Today I thought of installing Yahoo! Music engine on my Vista Operating System to see how it performs on the new OS as I use the same heavily on XP than the other players like Windows Media Player, Music Match or iTunes that I have.
But am bit unsuccessful in getting the Music! engine install to work and during the final step it reports installation unsuccessful. Here are the steps that I did:
1. Visited Yahoo! music engine page
2. From Install The Free Yahoo! Music Player
frame, clicked on Get It Now! button
3. It opened another install page, and again clicked on Install button
4. During the install process, selected the Custom Install option and un-selected all options like (Yahoo! messenger, toolbar and mail) as it has Music! Engine install as default option
5. The install started and after few seconds reports that Install is unsuccessful (screen shot is here), and asked to refer Yahoo! help for further assistance
Darnn..thats weired. Even Yahoo! mail does not work on IE7 and now Yahoo! music engine. Good that Yahoo! messenger works great on Vista.
I reported long back to Yahoo! Mail team regarding the compatibility with IE7 and heard back from them that the team is working on this issue and its on the top priority list and its time to send a mail to Music! team.
The new version of Firefox 1.5 Beta1 is released with new features like automated updates, faster browser navigation, clearing private data along with many more.
When I tried with the new beta found that it really rocks. During the first startup of the browser reported imcompatible themes and plugins that I had for earlier version
(1.0.6). It also asked and allowed me to upgrade to the new ones which are available and those they are not left as un-supported (for example I use outlook 2003 theme, advaced tabbed preferences and IE view). I found a minor bug that in themes and plugins it still reports the browser version as 1.4 as opposed to 1.5 BETA; but thats negligible in beta releases. The install also went clean on Windows Vista build 5112 and it also imported the IE 7 bookmarks and history.
Online reviews about Firefox 1.5 Beta1:
