What are the known compatibility issues with FDA eSubmitter running on a Windows Vista operating system?
The FDA eSubmitter application has compatibility issues with the Windows Vista Operating System. By default, the FDA eSubmitter application was previously installed in the following directory: C:\Program Files\eSub. The FDA eSubmitter application appears to run as intended until you attempt to generate any of the output files (e.g., view the Missing Data Report or package files for submission). It appears that Vista does not allow data files to be created under the Program Files directory. Vista restricts this area to be solely for applications and not for file creation or modification by the user. In addition, since the submission files created are XML based, Vista may also view these as potential configuration files and may choose to hide them from the user’s view. Please see the additional Instructions for Using eSubmitter on Microsoft Vista.
