I can't really afford the upgrade. , i tried installing as administrator and setting to xp compatability mode and it didn't work.

All I have found on this in the forum are referring to this problem with Hoster and you are correct it was fixed with an upgrade. Hoster 3.316 was the first version capable of being loaded on Vista. All the other programs were updated after this was resolved on Hoster.
Try making the following changes in this link to the laptop and see if this will allow them to install. If not then an upgrade is going to be the only way to fix it.

The main thing in this is Vista's security measures that caused all kinds of havoc for everyone. Which may be why it won't allow the installs. Hope this works.
