This site has urls and instructions on how to download the game using mega upload:

I've got it working on Daemon Tools. I don't have Vista, so I don't know if it'll work there.

LE is broken by a change Microsoft made a few years back to remove files with ".ht" extension from being interpretted as HTML, as this was the same extension used by the hyperterminal application. Probably happened with IE6 or XP.
The autorun tries to load system/class/game.ht and since modern versions of Windows don't interpret this as HTML it doesn't convert the slash between class and game into backslash and throws a file not found error. Or tries to load it as a non-HTML file and the embedded browser control (the rectangle beside Akira) just doesn't do anything with it.
One way to work around it is to copy the system/class folder to your hard drive, and rename the game.ht file as game.html. Then double click that file or drag it into your browser window. What's odd is that VIPER Digital Museum used a file ending in extension .html and doesn't experience this problem.
Oh, and Java doesn't come preinstalled on Windows. You'll need to go to java.com and get the JRE to play Java apps like STG (its installer is entirely web-based like Flash)
