| I had to get a new lap top which has Vista Home Premium on it. As a result
my Sprint Pantech PX-500 card will not install. I keep getting an error
message telling me to run ISScript.msi. I looked up the problem, installed
InstallShield 12 and this did not fix my problem. Sprint claims there is not
a driver for Vista yet. Any ideas on how I can get my card installed.

No drivers, no hardware.. I am surprised that your new laptop doe not have
inbuilt wireless support.. have you checked to see if it has?

if you have the drivers installed on a windows XP box, you can copy them to your vista box and point at them with driver update... this will not however install Sprint's Connection Manager Software. It will work like a dial up modem. I still get 1Mbs down easy, but no signal strength to monitor.
Sprint says pantech hasn't updated their drivers, but clearly new drivers are not needed, but the installer needs to be repackaged with installshield 12. (you were on the right track there, but you can't convert the .msi file without the installshield project file used to create it in the first place... but sprint, if they have installshield 12, could accomplish this in 10 minutes time...
Very irritated, but online (right now)

What version of InstallShield are the drivers set up with in the current install disk Sprint sends? I am getting the "engine missing on this machine" error and I can't figure out which version of the patch from InstallShield's website to install. Thanks!

I'm running XP home SP2 and I get the same error. I am trying to install the SprintPCSConnectionManager software when I get this error. I have tried to re-install, but no results are the same. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,

What is a windows XP box, and how do I copy drives from this box to my vista
box. I do have the XP pro disc from my previous laptop but really didn't
want to have to uninstall Vista and put XP on, only becauase at some point
Vista will work and my possibly be needed for some applications in the
future. Any help would be appreciated. It is getting pretty frustrating not
being able to use my new laptop on business trips.

I experienced the same problems installing on xp pro sp2 and finally got updated driver for Pantech PX-500 from Sprint advanced tech support.
Doesn't include Sprint's normal connection manager and has to be installed through device manager/modems/update driver after PnP finds PX-500.
Let me know if anyone's interested. It's been working great for me.

Do you know of any software that will allow the Pantech card to work on a new laptop with Vista Premium?

Actually I found that you do not need to run the Sprint PCS Connection Manager to run use the Pantech. I found this out through hours of trying to get the card to work. Basically in the lower right hand corner, I click the network connection, select connect to a network. The Sprint PCS Vision Dial-Up Connection is located there, double click, it prompts me to dial #777 and it connects without the Connection Manager. I dont know if this helps your situation.

digichef,
do you still have the drivers for the px-500 from sprint? I would like to get a copy of it if possible, I am experiencing the same issue using Vista.
Thanks,
Ron

Paul J's advice works for the Pantech PX-500 and Vista. I'll connect this way until Sprint updates their software to work with Vista.

I currently have the same problem. I went to the geeksquad and they installed the drivers using a comp with windows xp and then you have to set up the card on the xp comp and then a internet connection on windows vista dial up #777(do not use the sprint software it will freeze your comp) and it will connect to sprint pcs. I do not know if this makes the card work at its full potential but it works for me. You may expierience an ocasional blue screen of doom so be careful. Let me know if you find a patch.

@Digichief:
if you have the Vista drivers for the PX-500, would you mind sharing them? I have reached a dead end where Sprint support only points me to installing the Smartview software - which is not installing the driver correctly.
Not sure where you ofund "advanced" tech support from Sprint - the support have received so far has been anything but advanced
