Installing the CD-ROM on Microsoft Vista

Microsoft Vista was launched after sign off of the Pre Budget Employer CD-ROM 2007. On testing it was discovered that the CD-ROM will not auto install on Vista.

In order to install both the 2006 CD-ROM and the 2007 Pre budget CD-ROM the following steps should be taken:

'Explore' the CD-ROM and select the file ECD_2007.exe (or ECD_2006.exe if trying to install the 2006 CD-ROM). You can 'explore' the disk either by selecting 'start', 'run' and typing the letter of your CD-ROM drive followed by a colon e.g. D: and hitting 'enter'; or select 'My computer', the CD-ROM drive and right click.

You will then be given the choice of installing or running from disk. Select 'install'. When asked where you would like to install the CD do not accept the default installation folder, instead type C:\HMRC and select 'next'. The CD-ROM will then install.

We expect that the updated edition of the 2007 CD-ROM, issued after the Budget, will auto install on Microsoft Vista.
