Cannot install under Vista--restarts after 50% extraction

I just got a new Vista Ultimate OS load on my system. I am unable to install SoSE because the Stardock installation program gives up after 50% extraction and restarts extraction from 0%. It will loop like this forever until I hit "cancel". Any ideas why this might be happening?

just a theory, probably a bad one, but do you have enough space on your disk to hold sins?

Try reinstalling Stardock. I have Vista Ultimate, and had no issues installing. So I'm not sure what it might be.
Be sure you have all your updates from Microsoft, and you could look into the Service Pack 1 Release Canidate (SP1 RC) That fixed a few issues I had (on a seperate matter though).

Right click on the link for Stardock Central and choose Run as Administrator. That will probably resolve the issue for you.
