A specific example, with specific error messages, would help us to
answer you question. The first thing that comes to mind is that
the programs you want to install may not be Vista compatible --
but without more details it's hard to say.

What install type is it?

There's a large variety of "install in progress/incomplete" flags out
there - you would want to check with your vendor about what's tripping their
logic here.
