I'll do as you suggest and download the new version into the same folder as my 218.

Yes the MetaTrader update feature always has a problem with Window Vista's "User Account Control" feature.
You have two options:
1) Simply re-install the MT4 software (in the same location) then it might setup a new account, (or set one up yourself if the update alert does not show up) once the update alert shows up. You will now be able to update properly, just follow its steps.
[Note: When re-installing it will not show any of your customized stuff until the software updates and then you restart the Mt4, and then you re-restart it once more. After that all of your customized stuff should show up again as normal.]
2) Go to your Vista's Start Menu > Control Panel > User Account and Family Safety > User Accounts.
Then click on "Turn User Account Control on or off", then when the security alert pops up click "Continue".
Now un-check the "User Account Control (UAC)...etc." and click "Ok" then restart you computer.
Once you restart your computer you may update your MT4 as normal when it prompts you to. Once you are done with the update and restarting process make sure you go back to the above steps to turn the "User Account Control (UAC)...etc." back on for safety.
I hope that helps...
