The installation of iFolder 2.1x fails on Microsoft Windows Vista due to a new desktop composition option included with the OS.

  2. Start button and choose Control Panel, Programs, and select Use an older program with this version of Windows. This will start the Program Compatibility Wizard. Click Next to continue.
  3. Choose I want to locate the program manually and click Next.
  4. Click the Browse button, select the iFolderClient.exe, and click Next.
  5. Choose Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and click Next.
  6. Choose Disable desktop composition and click Next.
  7. Leave Run this program as an administrator unchecked and click Next.
  8. Click Next on the summary screen.
