No!!!! Wellinge (or anyone else), by no means reinstall Vista! I'm one of the beta testers for Aurora, and just happened to crash my system last night (by hacking some files) trying to figure out this curent prob with the installer.
 
In this instance, modifying MSCOMCTL (the root of the Borealis errors) caused LOR2 to execute itself (how?? dunno) and try to fix itself. Long story short, it completey hosed the registry (even regfix didn't help). Spent most of the AM hours backing up/salvaging then reformatting drive and reinstalling Vista. Still doing the Update Hustle.LOL

Yes, LC... these are not native to Vista and have to be included with the Aurora installer (they are).  On a fresh install of Vista Aurora will install these correctly.  When another app that requires these installs them before Aurora does the Aurora installer isn't handling the situation properly.

An observation:
 
Reinstalled Vista this moning (LOR2 took a huge puke on my registry) and noticed that MSCOMM32 and MSCOMTL are not native to Vista (not installed), this means that a prior 3rd party software install placed these there.Wink

wellinge, on your computer, do you know if your CPU supports "DEP" also known as Data Execution Protection? My AMD Phenom does and until I put Aurora Sequencer (I put Scheduler there also, though I don't know if it was a problem) in the DEP ignore" list, it was a little slow to quit and would give me a prompt down by the clock saying there was a DEP problem.

Correct... all you will see is the flash of a command prompt. 
 
If you have UAC disabled then all you need to do for that step is to double click the file (no need for the "Run As Administrator" part).  Ironically, some early research indicates that the problem may be the result of performing the installation with UAC turned off... we're still researching this and attempting to find a fix so that the patch will not be necessary.
