The default Vista registry keys are shown here:

You should make sure they match. On my Vista machine, the registry was corrupted by Windows XP registry keys. A Vista incompatible program must have put them there. Instead of starting C:\Users\ which is where Vista locates user files, a lot of keys started with C:\Documents and Settings which is where Windows XP locates user files.
The Autocad Installer would therefore try to look for files in C:\Documents and Settings and find nothing as that directory does not exist by default in Vista.
If more / different keys than those listed in the documents above are corrupted, then you may want to try printing off the same area of the registry from a fresh Vista installation or another user account from the same machine.
