doe v2009 fix the vista virtual store problem?
Vista virtual store feature will cache files in a folder other than installation folder. So when I build and install a new version, the program will still run with the old files in the cache folder.
Does Installshield 2009 fix this problem?

It's not InstallShield that's going to fix the virtual store issue for you. Your application needs to be modified to contain proper execution level manifests for Vista and it should be made sure that the application does not need write access to protected locations (such as the Program Files folder) during runtime. The virtual store is a compatibility layer for older programs that have been designed with the assumption that all users have admin rights. If your files keep ending up in the virtual store, it is a sign that something in the application requires higher user rights than it should.
