Nicotine and Vista

I have been trying to get NICOTINE (the p2p application) to run on this Vista machine with no luck. I have the dependent files (pygtk 1.99.16, the latest version of Python, and the GTK+ bundle). Python is working as it should, but i cant get Nicotine to install. I had no problems at all getting it to work on my older XP machine, so i dont know if its a compatibility issue with Vista or what .

When doing my search for this topic here on MG, i noticed a few posts where people mentioned calling Microsoft for a rollback to XP . I would very much like to do that, Ive been jacking with Vista for about a year now and I quite simply dont like it - too many compatibility issues, too many small (admittedly benign) glitches and just general bloated-ness. Does microsoft allow this rollback? Has anyone actually DONE this ? I dont think i should have to pay for a retail package of XP when Ive already paid for this preload of Vista.

any and all comments/advice are welcome .

 

This is not surprising news, but it did answer my question about the rollback, thanks.

Anybody have any experience with Nicotine and Vista ?

Can't run in Compatibility Mode?

 

The problem is that Nicotine wont even INSTALL .
therei s a setup.cfg and a setup.py file inthe downloaded nicotine folder, niether of which are stteing up the app. Again, i am running Vista, and i had no problem getting this application to install and run on XP.
Right clicking those install files and selecting PROPERTIES does not show a COMPATIBILITY tab .
The instructions including are for installing Nicotine on Linux, but it was possible to get it working on XP, i know because i did it .
Im just confused here trying to figure it out, searching forums and such and cant find any discussions anywhere on the internet pertaining to this issue .
