Eh?  I just installed on Vista yesterday and all I had to do was click
on setup.exe.  Vista asked to run it as administrator since the
executable is named setup.exe.   I didn't have to do anything special.


Dunno. It was the only I way I could get it to work, and I was
following advice I read elsewhere. In any case, it did work when
I ran it as Administrator. Are there any downsides to doing it
this way?
