Who the fuck said I was trying to endear myself to anyone?

Installing is not the problem. I've installed several programs into Vista.
It's an issue with downloads. For some reason, IE7 Beta 3 in Windows Vista
will not let you complete file downloads. I've had this same problem since
installing Vista. (Note: I did a clean install on a blank partition, and
still have this same issue)

I haven't been aware of the IE7 downloading issue as I'm using Firefox.
Try using that or Opera or whatever.
