game installer takes forever to launch
Okay, so there's this problem I have had with installing the BttF series in vista. After I download the games, and click to begin installation, it takes several minutes (if I'm lucky) for the installation window to even appear. It used to be a mild annoyance, but now I simply cannot install the entire 5 ep series w/o leaving my laptop on all day, and who knows if even that'll work?
Does anyone have a possible solution/reason for this? I will point out that I am probably in the minority of people who did not use the telltale site to get the games; I used the gamestop digital store because I am a noob.

It scans executables prior to running them as a security feature, and the larger the exe the longer it takes.
This is why most programs have a very small setup.exe, and it unpacks files from a cab/bin or other archive during install.
Anyway, the only solution is to temporarily turn off UAC.
