None of the devs have vista to test.
You don't get any errors/warnings in event viewer?  It just quits?
and it ends here.

Devs mean "developers" I think ;)
You must run all installations as administrator on Vista System.
On Vista you have default no admin rights, even if you are logged in as admin.

Richt klick on the exe-file and check "Run as admin", than try again.

It also could be, that you have to disable visible desgins for it.
You may try winxp compatibility mode as well.

You can do this right-clicking on the WZ exe and -> Properties. Check "Run on compatibility mode" then select win xp and finally try to run the program as admin
