After looking around the forum for a fix, I decided to sort one myself by merging some tips I found in other Posts.

This installer will only work if you own both EiB and RtH30 and is to install EiB.

1) Download this zip file and extract the 3 files to a folder called Earned in Blood. This can be anywhere, mine was D:\Games\Earned in Blood\

2) Insert the Earned in Blood DVD and cancel the autorun popup.

3) Browse to the folder you extracted the zip file to and Double Click CopyEiB_DVD.bat

4) When prompted, enter the drive letter of the DVD Rom with the EiB DVD in it.

5) Type y to confirm that you entered the correct drive letter.

6) Loads of files will start copying from your EiB DVD. Once they are all copied you will be asked to insert the Road to Hill 30 DVD

7) Insert the RtH30 DVD and cancel the autorun popup

8) Click on the command window that was copying all your files and press any key

9) Browse to the directory you extracted the zip file to and go into the System directory.

10) Double Click the bia.exe to play EiB
(Note : Don't swap the DVDs back over, you will need to keep the RtH30 DVD in the drive in order to play)

Hope this helps some people to get up and running and here's hoping a Vista compatible installer is released by Ubi soon.

Try this it worked for me, you have to install Vista SP1 from Microsoft, then install EIB and run the shortcut as Administrator, then you may get an error about StarForce to update the driver, download the update from StarForce web site and run EIB, works fine

The system folder is in the game's main folder, wherever you put that. The dfault location is: program files>ubisoft>gearbox software>eib. with this method you are given a choice where to place the folder (see step one). once you are ready to copy from your disc, you browse to that folder and type y. it will create all the folders you need, including the systme folder, at that location. good luck! this does work.
