Just wanted to post a follow-up to anyone who might be having the same
issue:
I continued to have problems even after running the correct EXE as Admin,
but I did notice that Launchpad had been installed anyway, despite the
trouble. So I went ahead and ran that (as Admin), and the game proceeded to
download from the patch server. Granted it took about 5 hours before I had
the game, but it could have been worse - I found that the 'official' fix is
to download *the entire game* from the patch server, which probably takes
about a week to finish...
So even if you only get some of the game installed from the downloaded CAB
files, go ahead and run the launcher - you'll still be saving yourself
boatloads of time.
By the way - the game runs great in Vista. :-)
