I ran into the same issue. Running the .exe in Administrator mode (right click
on the icon, choose Run As Administrator) took care of the problem.
For MLCad users, I also had to run MLCad in Administrator mode to do a scan for
new parts so that the new parts list file would be written.

Thanks for the tip, but it still won't run. I think it's a 64 bit issue
incombination with native msdos applications. Because eg L3P, whom is a
win32 console application, runs fine.

Yes, for 64bit editions of Windows, Microsoft completely removed support for
16bit DOS and Windows 3.x software. This is causing problems even with some
early 32bit software, that started in 16bit mode and then choose if continue in
16bit or going 32.
This is something that must be addressed, because some new PCs are being sold
with Vista 64bit because they have 4 GB or more of RAM (you can't use more than
3-3.5 GB with 32bit Windows, depending on your hardware), and of course this is
going to spread out.

I think the mklist.exe included in the zip file here is built for win32.

You could give it a try on 64bit Vista.

Thanks, that one works just fine.
