Have you read the Vista thread in the SH3 furums ?

Installed SH3 to a seperate drive - seperate folder OUTSIDE of program files will do
Run the install as admin
Same with the 1.4 patch
Even ran the GWX exe as admin

All works as sweet as a nut first time

But make sure you read that thread esp about starforce updates

I had a new upgrade from XP to Vista and loaded SHIII (Patched)
and GWX Gold, Commander and a bunch of mods without a problem.

Are you sure that all SHIII files/doc folders were off your drive?
