To get Vista SR-2 all I had to do was use the Windows Update.
I have Windows Vista Home Preieum 64bit. SR-2

  1. I used Admin and installed P8 to C:Smith Microposer 8
  2. I did "NOT" use the default install location for the Main Runtime. I opted to place the main Runtime in the conventional location - C:Smith Micro Poser 8
  3. I have UAC Turned Off.

I did a Search for Ryan using "All".
It takes a few minutes and the search button will "Blink-Cancel Search" until the search is completed.
It found Ryan, see attached.
