Re: Installing Bioshock Setup.exe stops working

At a guess, it's the User Account Control thing blocking your ability to
install the game.

I suggest you try these three options:

1) Log on as Administrator and re-run the setup, and install the game for
access by "all users" - which means it will be available under a standard
user account; OR

2) Right click the setup.exe file and select "Run as Administrator" and
enter the Admin password if prompted; OR

3) UAC can be turned off ; go to User Accounts (in Control Panel) and on the
first screen there's an option to turn UAC on/off. Try turning it ff and
rerun the set up for yoru game. This might depend on the edition of Vista
you have - these instructions are for Vista Ultimate.
