Although not for Delphi 7, I have created a C:\Tools\ directory on Vista and installed many programs there - especially ones where user data had been placed in C:\Program Files\ before. This works nicely, and avoids the problem of duplicated files (because of the virtualised C:\Program Files\ directory). I prefer to leave UAC enabled, and find it does not interfere with routine operation. Of the software I've tried on Vista, I think it has all worked OK, and that includes one or two unusual hardware devices as well.
