When I install Stronghold 2 Deluxe on my Vista PC, then I can open it properly and play it.  However, it tells me that I should install an update to take it up to version 1.30.1 rather than the v1.3 that it is installed as.  When I have installed the update, however, then the game will not open, but the computer just thinks for a bit, and then stops.  Is this a general compatibility issue with Vista, or is there probably something wrong with my system?  Has anyone else got this game to work on Vista with the update installed?

Try this link, they seem to know what they're talking about, more so than I. But, the solution is simple enough.
