Seems like `--user-access-control=auto` option [1] introduced in Python 2.6 for to bdist_wininst has no effect on Vista. 

Test.
1. Get a Vista.
2. `hg clone http://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-wget/`
3. Add
{{{
    scripts=['wget.py'],
}}}
to setup.py
4. `python setup.py bdist_wininst --user-access-control=auto`
5. Execute wget-0.6.win32.exe
6. Watch the error
{{{
Access is denied.
CreateFile (C:\Python27\Scripts\wget.py)
}}}
7. Python is always installed for "All users" on Vista
