Are you installing SOM from a disk iso or from the installer I made on the main page?

If you are using the latter, it might be blocking you from copying the files due to account administration in vista/windows 7....to get around it, just manually copy the SOM folders over to the proper directory yourself (thats really all the batch file is doing anyhow) and be sure to run the registry when finished...

If you change the base directory of where its installing then youll have to modify the registry file accordingly before applying it so windows knows where the base installation directory resides.
