Being the only person who uses a computer doesn't tell us whether you are running with admin rights.

OK, I had assumed with Vista that at least one user had have admin rights otherwise you couldn't do anything. And I am the only defined user.....
What have I missed this time ?

At this point I am more interested in having you try the update I made to Setup.vbs after I asked if you were running with Admin rights.
If that does't work, we continue looking into the Admin rights.

All Vista and Win7 systems have a hidden admin account. Even though you are the only user on your PC, you are not the administrator.
To activate the admin account:
1. Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt (right click and select "Run as Administrator"
2. Type: net user administrator /active:yes
Then next time you log onto the machine, you'll be able to chose between 2 users, yourself and the admin.
Here are some tips for enabling the admin account:

You might be able to right-click on Setup.vbs and select "Run as Administrator" as well. I'm still on XP, so I'm not sure.

Sorry, too many posts coming in too fast. I missed your message on the updated Setup.vbs, but the link you supplied takes me to the Upload page. Doesn't look as though you completed the upload.
The right-clicking trick only works for EXE files, not JAR or VBS

Oops. Try again:
Setup.vbs

Line: 18
Char: 5
Error: Invalid root in registry key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RMRDevicUpgrade"
Code: 80070005
Source: WShaell.RegWrite.
Could this be because I already have RemoteMaster installed (using the EXE one) in another folder ?

I doubt it, but you could uninstall it and retry. Time to log in as admin and try again

I have another idea to try tomorrow.

OK, Doing all the admin bit made Setup.vbs work OK. But surely we aren't expecting the average 'joe' to go through all that ?
Didn't help much though. Running the JAR gave me the 'Could not find the Main class' error.

Don't run the jar. Use the start menu shortcuts
I thought I said this wouldn't fix the file association.
