    Hello,

    I recently purchased TZ90HS from pricejapan and now I am trying to get Vista installed (home premium). I deleted the old OS (in japanese), but in a certain point of the install of new Vista I get a file missing error and the installation stops :eek: .

    What should I do now?

    You're booting from the DVD and doing a fresh installation?

    Now I was able to install a copy of vista. However, is it fine if I used a fake vista cd and original serial key? the reason is because the fake one is in english...and the original in italian.

    As far as I have read, other people are using non-English Vista keys to install English versions of Vista fine. As long as the key is yours, it is probably fine. I don't know the exact rules, but, hey, it's better than pirating it, right?
