why didn't those program work?

I've been using vista for only a month.Like before,I'd like to set up a few
programmes,such as Adobe Reader,Visul C++ and so on.After installation, it
says "it may not be installed corretly,suggest you to install again".I have
installed for several times.But every time I run my computer,it says that
"there's something wrong with the program,you'd better install it again".
I've also tried to change the options about concurrence,and also failed.
So,would somebody like to help me ?
Many thanks.

Did you check to see if the program works? Sometimes that warning comes up
incorrectly, especially with older, non-Vista compliant software. Vista is
expecting a certain return form the installer, doesn't get it and throws up
that warning. One of the options when that warning comes up is to tell
Vista that it did infact install correctly.

You can't tell vista that the program DID install correctly!

Go to the programs websites, check that they are the latest version, AND
vista compatible.

Download them saving to your Desktop, or whatever folder you want to.
Right-click on their setup.exe, select "Run as Admin"
Install.

Have you tried installing in compatibility mode, or going to the .exe and in
properties / compatibility, setting the compatibility to one or several of
the choices?
