I'm on Windows 7, but what I did was copy mine over on a thumb drive from my old, dying, XP computer and then transferred the entire NWN directory over to the C: drive in my new Windows 7 machine.
Then I went into the NWN folder and found my nwnmain.exe and nwn.exe files. I just right-clicked on them and went into "Properties". On the Compatibility tab I clicked on the (not sure exact wording) "Run as WIndows XP Service pack 3". Then went down to click on the box to "Run as Administrator".
Then created a short cut to my desktop. And it runs like a charm. No issues (so far).
That is on WIN7. Don't know if Vista would be different or not since I have never used that OS.
As long as the copied version had been updated to v1.69, that works, since the registry information isn't needed but for upgrades. With a copied version lower than v1.69 you need to manually edit the registry keys to apply patches.
