maybe this will help somebody:

I'm running P7 standard on Vista home premium 32-bit.  And transferred P7 from my old PC just recently.

I did a fresh install of P7 on the new PC.

It gave me a hard time about opening files, then I took "ownership" of my c: drive.
to take ownership, Right click on C: then on the security tab, click advanced to get to the ownership button.  (They redesigned Windows Explorer. grrr)

From my old PC,
I copied my Runtimes to a flash drive, but ran into trouble. 
It wasn't copying all the files. 

My work around was to use WINZIP to zip the runtimes and I was able to copy the zipped files to my flashdrive without a problem.
(I had 2 runtime folders, the poser default and a Downloads runtime.)

When I tried to paste my runtime into the new PC, Vista gave me all kinds of messages about overwriting files.

I ended up just deleting the whole runtime folder the fresh install created on the new PC.
After that, it was much less painful to paste in the runtime from my old PC.

happy crashing!
