Streets&Trips 2007 with GPS Nav install issue for Vista solved

Search no more all. I finally received the correct solution for installing
streets and trips 2007 with gps nav from microsoft telephone support.
Let me tell you this first. I uninstalled/reinstalled s&t 6 times,
reinstalled vista os, formatted my harddrive, clean booted, ran installer
under compatibility mode for xp srv pack 2 and ran as admin and NOTHING
resolved issue. I finally contacted phone support at microsoft and the guy
remoted into my machine and fixed it right up.
Here is the solution:
dont let autorun try to start the install. However you chose to do it,
rather using windows explorer or whatever, get to the point where you are
viewing the contents of the DVD. From there, here is the path you need to
follow to get to a different installer which will install the program WITHOUT
admin rights and WITHOUT having to install text to speech seperately. (my
cdrom/dvd drive is assigned to E: on my machine, yours may differ) Path=
E:\Streets\MSMap
and the file you want to run in the msmap folder is called data. It is a
windows installer package type file a little bigger than 2 megs. This will
install the program without even messing with the text to speech engine
(which is already built into windows) and once installed, the program will
run fine. Hope this relieves the stress you have probably had trying to get
bill gates products to run on bill gates products.
