Am I right in thinking that using the Vista uninstall is the right

Alastair,
Before re-installing R:BASE 7.6 for Windows, using the full installer,
you must un-install the previously registered version of R:BASE 7.6 for
Windows.
Use "Uninstall or change a program" option of the Vista Control Panel.
Following the correct procedure, if you still encounter the same message,
you may remove the following product key from the registry in order to
re-install R:BASE 7.6 for Windows.
Here's how:
Start | Run | REGEDIT | Main Menu | Edit | Find ...
{1F5DE9EC-C06A-4657-B580-BFF743BBEE84}
You'll find these product keys in "two" places. Once found, carefully
delete them.
Can I presume the same activation keys should still be used for the
new install?
Yes, as long as you have not changed the Hardware and OS.
Am I right in thinking that I need only install the original full
installation
and the latest update (RBG76_Update2_01022008) or is there a newer one?
Correct!
The upcoming Update 3 of R:BASE 7.6 for Windows (Build 7.6.3.30214),
currently under Private and R:Developers Beta, is scheduled to be
released on February 14, 2008 (7:56AM EST).
Is the default directory better as C:\RBTI\... or should I put RBTI\... in
Program Files these days?
FWIW, C:\RBTI\RBG76 is the recommended folder. You may install the
version anywhere on your PC, if you wish.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
P.S.
Just curious ... what did you do on your Vista to result in such a mess?
