Apologies then, but is still BAD advice. Using the utility you refer to, setting UAC to quiet mode will shut the damn thing up, while still allowing everything to install without issue. Turning off completely can cause too many issues.

Yes, you're right, but since my first post I had already marked it as not recommended to disable it.

To build upon the recommendation of not disabling UAC, here's an excellent article which explains what UAC is, how it works, what benefits you have and why you should never disable it. What is UAC & Why You Should Never Turn it Off

Well, if you wouldn't recommend it, then why post advice for someone to turn it off.
Well, I've never had a real opportunity to try it, as I don't use Windows Vista as my main OS.
A real opportunity, you either tried it out or you didn't.
Bad advice for someone who uses Linux as their main OS.
in fact I did try this out, and guess it worked.
You guess it worked?
Do everyone a favor, post your tips for Linux users and keep your Windows Tips to yourself, seeing how you hardly use it.
