Turn off UAC and do not install any FS tools to "Program Files" in Vista or Windows 7. Microsoft really screwed up when they created those folders for the newer operating system. Those default folders are for needed operating system files, not users added applications, unlike the norm in WindowsXP.
You guessed right, Win7-64.

All my FS stuff is on a separate virtual drive so Sbuilder is installed in: G:\SBuilderFS9\

SBuilder9 is a Visual Basic 6 program, so you may be missing the VB6 runtimes. Search the web for them. Otherwise find a copy of TABCTL32.ocx on the web, and place it in the SBuilder9 root folder. ( now in C:\FS_Stuff ??! )
I had already done that and found an ocx 2 years more recent than yours (2006). I installed it in system32 and registered it...didn't help. I also just reinstalled the vb6 runtimes and that didn't help either.
I also just tried to install a copy of my ocx int the Sbuilder folder and register it, no help.

I installed it in the Sbuilder folder and registered it, no help either.
Would it be possible for you to create and distribute an installation set using the "Application Setup Wizard", that way all necessary files would be distributed?

P.s.: I will try installing Sbuilder on my XP system and see if I am luckier there but I still would like to have it running on this machine (Win7).
