It could be some reference the Vault 3 installer made, but regardless, Vault 3 is not supported on that operating system.

Please see the Vault compatibility chart in order to determine which versions of Vault work with the corresponding versions for Microsoft's Operating Systems, Visual Studio, and SQL Server - http://www.sourcegear.com/vault/documen ... chart.html

I find solution here:

1. Install Vault
2. Make a copy of the Program Files(x86)\Sourcegear\Vault Client folder
3. Uninstall Vault using Add/Remove Programs
4. Run Vault out of the copied folder.

Yes, that is what I was referring to. Vault 5.0 and earlier installer tools did a registration of actxprxy.dll and un-registration of actxprxy.dll during uninstall. Of course, all unrelated to Vault.

The installation tools were switched in Vault 5.1 due to this very problem. So Vault 5.1 and later will not cause this kind of issue.
