Running this script caused it to error our with 'Unknown Command Name'...
Not sure if this is related in any way, but when I tried to use the taskkill method on another game (C&C Red Alert) I also got the Unknown Command Name error. I did not think of copying taskkill.exe directly to the game dir though.

Have you tried the alternate method of fixing the color issues in Win Vista /7?

I posted some info about it here:
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=47156

The direct draw compatibility tool is an easy way to apply the color fix without the need to write registry files manualy.
It is available here:

Basicaly you run it and browse to the .exe file of the game. In this case WinSPWW2.exe (or WinSPMBT.exe) and hit the Apply button. Then it should write the nessesary registry values automaticaly. Then you should be able to start the game witout the cmd file directly from WinSPWW2.exe.
