I note the following from web site regarding the 64bit openafs:

Note: In 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows there are 64-bit and 32-bit
versions of the command prompt and the Explorer Shell.  It is very important
that when installing applications that the installers be started from a
64-bit process.  It is strongly recommended that the Add/Remove Programs
Control Panel be used to initiate installations on 64-bit Microsoft Windows
operating systems.

Yet, in all the searching I have done, on my vista 64 in the 'Programs and
Features' control panel (the replacement for add/remove programs) there is
no option to install or add a program from an msi. The only options related
to this are to

buy programs from windows market place
install a program from the network
view purchased software

I am really starting to hate Vista more which is something I didn't think
was possible.

How does one install openafs 64 on vista 64 if you can't just launch the
executable? That is how I originally install the 1.5.60 client -- now I am
at a dead end. Will some please kill Vista and make it go away....
