Application downloads with XP but not with Vista

Hello,

I wasn't sure where to pose this question, so please forgive me if this is
not the right place to do so.

Has anyone come across the following problem? We are making a client/server
application in Visual Studio (C#) that runs on the latest Microsoft Platforms
on both the web-servers and the database server.

The users are supposed to download their clients and install them locally.
We are usingthe smart client technology to ensure that everyone has the right
framework and the correct versions of the client, and this worls perfectly
for users who run XP.

However, if the user runs Vista locally, it all falls apart. The version
check runs much slower, and when the download finally starts, it goes VERY
slow and eventually stops completely.

Anyone have any clue what is going on here? We have tested on several vista
installations, and we gat the same results every time.

Any replies would be greatly appreaciated.
Baard Dahl
