[PD] pd extended on Vista

[Matteo Sisti Sette]

Wow, I had installed it in a custom folder in the D: drive.

Now I've installed it in the default C:\%Program Files%\ folder and 
(after the registry tricks) it does work.

So for some reason it doesn't work if installed in a custom folder...

Any idea why?
