I was able to install under Vista as an ordinary user (no admin). I had to
choose a different install path, and also had to click to ignore several
errors during install (where the installer attempts to do things like set
admin keys or install fonts - none of these are essential). No registry
editing was needed to get the installed program to work. I'm not sure what
went awry in your case.

NB the fonts in question are part of the standard POV-Ray include directory
and weren't even intended to be installed into Windows: I didn't realise
until I did the no-admin-rights Vista test that InstallShield automatically
installs any fonts it finds in the file set, unless you tell it otherwise.
At that point it was so late I decided not to make a new installer as the
fonts will be removed when the current beta is uninstalled.
