I'm having the same problem that an awful lot of people seem to be having - m12 installs just fin on a Win7 64-bit machine, but the program won't actually run. I installed .Net 1.1 and MsXML directly from the CD.
I've tried running in Compatibility Mode for XP SP2, XP SP3, Vista, and Vista SP2 - all with the same result. The UAC warning pops up, the process starts but then abruptly terminates.
Has anyone solved this problem or have any troubleshooting hints?
The following event log entry is the only hint I've got at the moment
