Typical for Micro$soft.  I had a M$ joystick that worked great with Windows 98 and then I got a new computer that came with Windows XP and guess what M$ didn't support their product anymore with updated drivers so I bought a Thrustmaster joystick and they supply updated drivers.  M$ Combat Flight Simulator 3 Battle For Europe ran fine on XP until Sevice Pack 2 and then my M$ game was a dust collector, some other games didn't work also.  Have I ever mentioned that I hate all things M$?  Life is wonderful when you have the entire world prisoner and force them to buy Betas and just when the product is finally starting to work well it's time for a new Beta for more $.

Uncommon Valor installed fine and works fine for me under Vista.

Right click on the install file and “Run as administrator”. Then set the shortcut to run in XP compatibility mode and run as administrator.

Vista Tip: When you install software always “Run as administrator” never install using autorun.

Un-freakin-belivable it worked.  kill the auto run and run as Admin and your in. 
 
I actually love Vista, it is so smooth and does so much behind the scences stuff for you, great program!!
