I think Vista is working now but your best bet would be to use the program on Windows XP.

Don't get any errors, but nothing happens when you click on the icon, or when you try to run directly from the c:\program files\directory.

It finished installation normally and then I got the error message when it tried to run the EXE. I also installed DirectX, to make sure that it was not the cause of the error, although it was not clear from the Windows website which one to download. I have de-installed and started over several times, with no success.

Have you carefully followed the installation instructions on page http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/rooms_ideas/kitchen/download1.html? Have you tried to download Microsoft DirectX?

When you are starting to design a kitchen that will be used for commercial purposes, there are many things that you need to take into consideration. A commercial kitchen is a lot more complex than the one in your own home, and there are many needs that have to be met. These needs not only include style and function, but also requirements from your local city and state departments. Glorry Hello,
