I've downloaded and installed the new Vista ready version of Maple 11 (11.01) and few things are curious. It installs something called the "Maple 11 Reader Beta". Not sure what this is or what it is intended to do, but if it is a Maple runtime, then that is very interesting. We only have one Vista machine here in my office and the reader doesn't actually run on it so I can't really tell what it does. Which leads to a warning, the reader is failing because of a problem with my previous install of Maple 10. I had installed Maple 10 using the "run in XP compatibility mode" workaround. So before I went to install the new version I tried to uninstall Maple 10. But, I forgot to set the Maple 10 uninstaller to run in compatibility mode before I ran it, and it blew up. So the uninstall of Maple 10 failed part way through. But I went ahead and installed Maple 11 Vista, and it seems to work fine. However, when I run the Maple 11 reader I get an error that my license file is invalid and it is referring to the old Maple 10 folder, apparently getting it out of the registry. Probably gonna be messy to fix that. I also ran into one small problem with the install itself in that I could not get it to work off a CD. I had downloaded the new installer to my machine and copied it to a CD to move it to the Vista machine. But I had to put the download file on the hard disk and run it from there to get it to work. When I tried to launch it from the CD nothing seemed to happen. Running the installer from the hard disk did work OK but very slowly.
