The way UAC is implemented in Vista is awful. It needs to be turned off to be able to use Vista without wanting to trash the computer. In Windows 7, UAC is still there, but it's not as annoying. It doesn't get so in the way. It is what should have been in Vista. In Vista, the easiest way to get Book Designer to work is to turn off UAC besides registering some OCX files. In Windows 7, I could just register the OCX files I needed and it worked.
