SWX2008 & Vista Home Premium

(OP)
I know that SWx2008 is only supposed to run on Vista Ultimate & Business, but has anyone got it to run on Home Premium?  I would like to install it on my home desktop to work from home a little, but my new desktop has Vista Home Premium installed.

If it doesn't work, it's only about $150 for the upgrade to Vista Business Ultimate.

Anna,

Installed it last nite, install seems to go fine, but the program will not open.  I just get a error box that says "SolidWorks".

Just curious if any one else has installed it on Home Premium & got it to work.
