I can now confirm that it installed very easily, is pre-patched to version 1.4 and does NOT need the disk in the CD drive to play (i.e no Starforce
it runs a treat on Vista 64 and is, as you would expect, blindingly fast to startup and loadup. Only small issue is that it is a tiny bit too streched on my 22" monitor and looks a tiny bit jaggily in places, but i am working on getting it running in a window so i can shrink it down a little.
hope that this info is of some use to others who are having problems.

As a follow up to this earlier post and having read some of the subsequent replies :
1) mine is installed to the Vista suggested location of "C:\program files(x86)\ubisoft\ etc,etc without any problems - i do have UAC disabled tho and my login account is an Administrator one.
2) any "protection system..." type error message comes from Starforce
3) i have subsequently installed JSGME and GWX 3.0 without any problems
