You can install them manual. Go to windows explorer/tools/folder options/file types and select file,folder or icon that you wont to change and go to advanced and simply browse wonted icon from there.

I use .res files I make with Restorator to add icons, bitmaps and avi's to shell32.dll and explorer.exe. Then I use a CMD file to automate the process.

Example: http://mihd.net/l7m4i8

Here is the CMD Code:

ResHacker.exe -addoverwrite "explorer.exe", "explorer.exe", "explorer.exe.res",,,

But if you can wait awhile Vista Transformation Pack will be out any day now and you can slistream that into your PC (it does the same thing using .res files and cmd)
