I have Vista Ultimate (64 bit) and I have no problems installing 3.1.1. Have you tried completely uninstalling AGS and installing 3.1.1? Also, where are you trying to install it to?
Mine installed to

Code: ags

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adventure Game Studio 3.1.1\

Make sure compatibility mode is turned off.

Have you tried installing outside of the normal Program Files folder? Sometimes programs (not saying AGS) have problems because of the Admin rights thing--so it can be easier to install to a diff. location.

I've been looking through the forums for some time now trying to solve this problem for myself. I'm using Vista 64 and I downloaded the newest AGS editor last night. Everything seemed alright, I was able to edit and build and all of that, but every time I wanted to run my work from the editor with or without debug mode enabled, my 320x200 gets the small window of course, but Vista 64 displays a black screen in the window and it does the ghost mouse thing where the cursor won't draw inside the window. When I click on the window's top bar thingy, the window suddenly displays my game complete with a cursor, except I can't manipulate anything in the game or move the game's cursor and clicking the tab in the windows bottom of the screen bar doesn't help. Sorry for layman's description of events. I don't think its a UAC issue, and I read all about the 320x200 res troubles in vista, but I can't even run in a window. I switched the game to 640x480 to test that out (I changed the res and all the backgrounds in the game through the editor,  not winsetup) and no dice! Maybe this issue is unresolved? Or is there somewhere in the forums or elsewhere that has the fix? This thread is 120 days stale or something, so any help would be appreciated!
