Note, that other distutils created installers have these issues on
vista too... like PIL etc.

I think this is more the fault of the distutils install maker.  Anyone know about changes needed for vista installers?  For most installers vista pops up a message about "do you trust this installer".  This doesn't happen for the pygame one... so maybe we have to ask vista for permission.
