I installed Windows Vista on my carputer and was having problems with the CF installer rolling back the install on me. I tracked the problem down to UAC and DEP killing the installer.

I thought I would post how I got things running for everyone.

1. Install .NET Framework 1.1 (Duh!).
2. Run the command prompt with elevated privliges (as administrator).
3. Enter the following command:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

4. Press Windows key + R to get run dialog box
5. Type "msconfig" (without qoutes) and press enter key.
6. Click the Tools tab.
7. Scroll towards the bottom of the list and choose Disable UAC.
8. Click the launch button. (You should see a command prompt confirming the command executed successfully.)
9. Reboot computer.
10. Run CF setup.

11. (Optional) If you wish to turn DEP back on, Run the command prompt and enter the following command:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx Optin

12. (Optional) If you wish to turn UAC back on, complete steps 5-8 but reverse step 7.

13. Reboot computer.

Hope this helps anyone else out there who is going to/was having problems.
