Hi #ELMO#. Have a look here and here.

If after reading the above information, you are still determined to leave UAC disabled, see here for help in disabling the popup.

Hi #ELMO#. Is the software Vista compatible? Check on the Vendor's site to make sure that an update has not been released before installing.

You could probably explore the contents of the disk and run the setup program as Admin but in this case I think these easiest option would be to disable UAC, install the software, get it up and running and then re-enable UAC.
