Good to know there was a reason other than something I was doing with Vista. 
Glad you figured it out Chris.

As the others have said, UAC off was what finally made sense, which must 
have been the difference between a no-go and successful install. I chose to 
try this in the middle of the night (again) when I wasn't thinking clearly 
to begin with.

Curious thing then that the posting by SafePit here was okay even though UAC 
was on... something about Vista Basic? This was another lesson for me in 
using Vista, to look at UAC first not last.
