SH III Vista Install

[nutworld]

Good evening.

Due to problems I had to un-install SH III on my vista laptop.

My previous install was on my Program Files (x86) folder, which I now find out is not the preferred place due to conflicts.

So During my install attemtp tonight I created a "Program Files\Ubisoft\SH III\" folder as to try and eliminate these potential conflicts.

Of course the defalt installation is the Program Files (x86) destination.

So after I checked my install as I am preparing to install the patch, I checked my hard drive to ensure I have everything the way it needs to be.

Come to find out the regular Program Files folder is empty, and SH III went ahead and installed to the Program Files (x86) folder anyway, despite my changing the destination to the regular Program Files folder.

Can someone SMARTER than me who is familiar with Vista help me get this problem solved? I'm having severe withdrawls....

Thank you.

Yes I am aware there is a Vista "sticky" for this and I am still having issues, so I am trying to get some help from people that have had to "fight with" Vista to play.

Untill I had issues with MODS ( causing CTD) and thus the uninstall/re-installs. I had no previous issues runining the game using my Program Files (x86) folder.
