Using the binary installer Fb 1.5.4 and 2.0.1 both install fine for me. 
I'm just installing as a regular admin user.

On the other hand, if I open a command prompt and try this:

instsvc stop

I get the same error as you.  So I suspect that you don't have the full 
admin rights that you thought you had. I'm not sure if that should 
prompt a :-) or a :-(

The new faux security in Vista is infuriating. There is probably a 
setting somewhere to turn it off, but luckily I only have to use it in a 
VMWare session, so I can live with it for now.
