The problem is that there is no "Documents and Settings\All Users"
location any more. That is just a junction (for backwards compatibility)
pointing to "C:\Users\Public. When you double-click the self-extracting
executable, change the location where it is going to unpack the files to
C:\Users\Public.
To forestall any other problems, it would be wise to check with the
program's tech support (or on its website) to make sure it really is
compatible with Vista.
