I use Vista and I recommend the following:
1. Create a root folder for SH4. Call it what you want. I named mine Games2 and load all my games here. Stay out of the X86 program folders. Placing the SH4 game in the X86 files produces errors when loading mods.
2. When you install the game browse to your new games root folder and select it for the loading destination. You will find your SH4 icon in the Microsoft created GAMES folder. Create a short cut to the desktop.
3. Once done, set your video card to the defaults. Run the game. Close the game out and reset your video card. (Vista does not like to run SH4 for the first time when your video card is tweaked)
4. Load up JSGME.
The game should run like any other game, just double click on the SH4 icon and away you go. No run as admin needed. Your gold edition should have it's own code for activation I believe.
