forceware 85 88 61 cannot install forceware vista beta

Hello,
I cannot install nVidia ForceWare to Vista Beta 2. Installer error message say like 'This installer can install only vista". How can I install this driver ?
Environment: Hardware: DELL INspiron 9400 GPU: GeForce 7900 GS OS: Vista x86 Beta 2 Japanese. ForceWare: Release 85, Version 88.61, May,23 2006

Addtional Information:
GPU: GeForce Go 7900 GS if I exec setup.exe directly, installer say, Cannot found proper devices.
How can I install it ?

Try and extract the drivers from the actual setup installer, then go through Device Manager and right clicking on the device, and selecting "Update driver"

Right!
I posted a while ago that there is no installer included in the package from Nvidia. It states such right in the readme file on their website..
They tell you to do an .inf install from device manager.

Unzip "all" of the files to a temp folder. Then using device manager, update your video driver. Point to the folder where you saved the extracted files. The updater will then install the video drivers.

I'm having what I think is the same problem. I'm confused by your using the term "unzip," as what I download is simply an executable, and not zipped to begin with. Of course, you can run this and get a lot of files out of it, then point the update driver program in that direction, but that's what I've been doing, to no avail.
Any thoughts?

It is basically an executable zip file. If you were to use an honest to god zip program such as Winzip, or a good file manager program that includes zipping capabilities (such as Total Commander), you would be able to unzip the executable to a temp folder and install the drivers.
You just have to point the device manager "driver update" to the temp folder you created and the drivers "will" install.

Hello,
I tried to unzip & drivers update. But, cannot updaded. umm.

My version of 88.61 is an application and not a zip file and I just ran the application and it automatically installed the drivers-I do think that I had turned off the UAC at that point of installing drivers and programs and then turned it back on after everything was installed. Previous versions I just did the update drivers and it worked from browsing the correct folder for the ..inf file-I keep all applications and programs on another partition so each install of beta is easy for me. The .inf file in 87.45 is the nv_disp setup information file when it is unzipped to folder.
