I can think of no reason why you would need C++ to install the BI tools, nobody else seems to need it, and I certainly didn't need it either.

I do recall someone on the BI forums mentioning such a problem a while ago, maybe that was yourself, if not I would try a search at the BI forums to see if the problem was resolved.

You don't need C++, at least I don't have it in my editing suite 

However, config files (that get addons ingame) are written in C++  - maybe what you read was meant to say that a knowledge of C++ was needed to get addons ingame?

Or maybe it is Vista being an arse.

 i think that it needs the C++ redistributable installer.
try one of these.
http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?form=MSHOME&setlang=en-us&q=C%2b%2b+redistributable+installer.&mkt=en-us

a quote from the readme.
The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2005 installed.

since BI editing tool suite was developed in C++ probably needs it to run.
hope that to solves the problem
