Try installing using the Vista Admin rights.
But if that fails the procedure below will work.
It's a lot easier than it looks.
Hyper lobby works fine in all versions of Vista.
Below is a re-post
From my previous post, a bit of Vista help.
You need to have administrator rights.
This is a really easy procedure to follow.

1, Right-click the Computer icon on the Start menu and select Manage from the context menu. When you do, you’ll encounter a UAC, and you will need to respond accordingly.
Once you see the Computer Management console, go to the navigation pane and click the arrow next to Local Users And Groups to expand the branch. Then, click the Users folder and select the Administrator Account.
With the Administrator Account selected, click More Actions under Administrator in the Actions panel and select Properties from the context menu. When you see the Administrator Properties dialog box, clear the Account Is Disabled check box and click OK.
Now that the Administrator Account is activated, you can also work with the account in the User Accounts tool in the Control Panel.
2, Setting the passwordBy default, the Administrator account has a blank password, so the first order of business after activating the account is to set a password — preferably a complex password consisting of at least eight characters and using uppercase, lowercase, and numbers or special symbols.
With the Administrator account selected, click More Actions under Administrator in the Actions panel and select the Set Password command. When you do so, you will see a warning that explains that resetting a password from outside the account can cause irreversible loss of information. However, since the Administrator account has never been used, you can click Proceed with impunity. When you do, you will need to fill in the blanks in the Set Password dialog box and then click OK.
3, Logging in as the AdministratorNow that you’ve activated the Administrator account and set the password, using the account is as simple as logging off. When the Log Off operation completes, you’ll see the Welcome screen and a user icon for the Administrator account. To log on as the Administrator, click the icon and enter the password.
Again, I must emphasize that you should only use the real Administrator account sparingly and never make it your default modus operandi!
What’s your take?It’s a relatively easy operation to activate the real Administrator account in Vista once you know the technique. Now that you know how it’s done, are you likely to use the Vista Administrator account? Have you disabled UAC? If so, do you think that you’ll re-enable it and use this technique instead? Please drop by the discussion area and share your thoughts on the Administrator account technique and UAC in general.
Also you may need to shut down some or all the clapp trapp that makes vista such a resource pig.
I shut down all the usless garbage running in background and to my amazment, Vista can run just as fast as XP.
And you still have the neat clock......(the only thing I like about Vista).
Shutting down the garbage in background also solves all the nagging compatibility
issues with older 32 and or 64 bit software.
Ok, here it goes.
How to safely shut down the most useless **** running in background.
It's pretty simple.
Disclaimer.....
I make no promises.
If you screw it up, don't blame me!
Press CNTRL ALT DELETE.
You will get the windows defender "dungeon effect" trying to scare hell out of you.
Procede, tell it you are competent to work on your own computer.
Click "Start Task Manager"
Next thing that pops up will be the Windows Task Manager dialog box.
1, At the top left, click on "File"
2, click on "New Task Run"
3, Type msconfig in the white where indicated, then click OK.
4, click on "TOOLS"
5, Click on "Programs" then "Launch".
6, On the top left, click on "Turn Windows features of or off." You may have a 30 second wait for the dialog box to populate.
7, Uncheck ALL the boxed in the "Windows Features" dialog box.
8, Click OK.
Use this procedure to turn the desired featured back on.
I have turned nothing back on, Vista runs great stripped!
Ok, about RAM use in WinXP and Vista, again a repeat.
Windows Vista 32 or XP pro 32, it will never read more then 2.7 gigs of RAM.....
Only the 64 bit versions of Windows and Vista will ever recognise and use more than 2.7 gigs of RAM.
Yes, even your Intel Dual Core duo quad core is not going to use all your RAM.
XP Pro 32 and Vista Ultimate 32 read only 2.7 gigs of RAM.
Vista64 and XP64 see all 8 gigs.
Have fun!

If you are experiancing problems with widescreen monitors in IL-2
here is another re-post.
First thing is to get all your video settings where you want them.
Best to do it in game, there you can select perfect mode if desired.
Then exit the game
Now find your folder containing the il2fb.exe and other system files.
Open the conf.ini file.
Edit the lines in red.
The example below is for 1920x1200 res
[il2]
title=Il2-Sturmovik Forgotten Battles
hotkeys=HotKey game
