Please post any Windows Vista related issues in this thread.
Beyond Compare 2.4.3 works on Windows Vista with only a few minor issues.
We're testing with Vista in house, and we're working hard to resolve the issues that we've run into.
Known Issues:
<ul type="square">[*]Shell Extension icon background isn't transparent (but shell extension works fine).
[*]Due to Vista User Access Control, turning the shell extension on or off after installation requires you to right click the BC icon and select "Run As Administrator".
[*]Manipulating files owned by other users may also require you to use "Run As Administrator" even if you have Administrative rights.
[*]Selecting Alt-Tab in an options dialog in BC will cause some of the window to redraw incorrectly.
[*]Context help doesn't work because Vista dropped support for HLP format help files.[/list]
We plan to release a Windows Vista compatible version of BC2. We're also working on BC3, due out later this year, and it will be fully Vista compatible.
