Hey Everyone,

Is anyone having a problem installing the new winzip 11.1 in vista premium? I get this error message everytime I try to install it. "Installation ended prematurely because of an error."
 
Installed fine here. No compatability mode needed.

Do you have UAC turned off? Some software will not install correctly with UAC turned off.

Still having the problem :(

I have UAC turn on and i even turned it off and i still get the same error.

EDIT: I think is NIS 2007 that is giving me the problem :(

EDIT: I am able to install winzip 11.0 but not 11.1 I'm starting to think that 11.1 is not compatible with vista x64
 
Here is a workround for this problem. I was having the same error message but this solution worked for me.

Firstly you need to download the winzip 11.1 msi file from Winzip website. (downloads then other versions link at the bottom)

Then follow the instructions below:-

1. Copy your WinZip 11.1 MSI file (winzip111.msi) to the root of your
C: drive if possible. Vista will require that you provide
administrator permission to do this. You can copy to another
location if you like, but will need to adjust the directions in
'step 4' accordingly.

2. Click Start, click All Programs, and click Accessories.

3. Right click Command Prompt and select 'Run as administrator'. You
will again need to provide administrator permission for this.

4. In the Command Prompt type

msiexec /i c:\winzip111.msi /qn

* please note that if your MSI file is in a folder which has a name
* containing spaces or if any folders above it has names with
* spaces, you will need to put quotation marks around the entire
* path to the MSI file. Example - "c:\WinZip file\winzip111.msi"

5. Press Enter

After a few moments, WinZip should be installed on your computer.:D
