I extracted them into the folders, ran the generaic mod enabler and presto... its working.

Looks great and thanks for the help guys.
Vista can be a pain about unzipping directly into Program Files, I found it was much easier to just put all of my games in a C:\Games folder then I never have that issue. I had some games that need to write files as they go. which they were unable to do in Program Files.

I have found that 90% of all Vista/game compatability issues can be resolved by NOT installing in Program Files.
