Gentlemen
What I would like to do is summarize a lot of the information we've accumulated about how both games react with Vista and put them into one post anyone with a problem can read and hopefully solve their problem. Then I can add that to the Game guide and maybe put a short version right into the information window of the patch installers.
The info from noxiousnic

Install spWW2 and spMBT in a separate Games folder, not in the Program Files (x86) if you're on 64 bit Vista, or the regular Program Files folder on vista 32.

seems to answer a lot of questions as to why it sometimes works and why it sometimes doesn't for players first loading it into Vista
What I'd like ( as I'm real busy with OOB work for MBT ATM ) is anyone who's had problems with Vista that they have solved post a list of Vista do's and don't and then we can add to it from other peoples experiences until we have something that's easy to read and hopefully allows anyone who's running Vista to figure out how to get the games to run using a simple checklist. We know some have no trouble at all with the games and Vista and we know that the last service pack introduced new issues and I'd like to get them all in one place if possible.
I'd also like to hear from anyone who could not get the game to run no matter what they tried
Thanks
Don
