Hi Ryan,

to give you some more details,
I de-installed LfW once again.
My Vista-Box ask me for admin right automatically.
The de-installation was (as always) done without any obvious problems.
I start the 5.1.4.18 setup then (without admin rights) and end with this
(access denied)

May I have a someway broken normal vista user account, don't know, but 
don't think so.

To create a directory below c:\program files\ "by hand", I need admin 
privileges too. Intentionally, I think.

Please ask for (and probably specify the kind of) more details if 
needed. Be patient I have to spend the next hours to sleep and work.
