Compatibility mode to xp and run as admin not set in desktop shortcut on Vista PCs
Right click shortcut
choose 'properties' from bottom of list
Click on the Compatibility 'tab'(along the top of the window)
Check 'run as admin' box, select WINDOWS XP (service pack 2

Just as PR needs to run as admin with xp compatibility under Vista, it's likely the 1.5 installer does too.
