I've got it running on my vista machine, you just need to turn off User
Account Control from the Control Panel -> Security Settings -> Other
Settings for the duration of the installation.

After install completes you can turn it back on... if you want -
personally I leave it off, it's an incredibly annoying "feature".

Note, turning UAC off and on both require reboots.
