The issue is that using all of the documented instructions from Microsoft to make a Screen Saver installer doesn't seem to work. So there must be some trick that SS developers are doing to make it work properly on Vista64. For the time being, the workaround is to right-click on the Aquarium file and choose "Install". This uses the operating system's own install routine for screen savers.

It may be that someone will have to take a snapshot of the Registry just before and after performing that step and then get back to us on what change(s) were made so the official Installer can make the same changes.
