[ms4w-users] ms4w in Windows Vista??

[Jeff McKenna]

Yes I have run MS4W on Vista.  It seems the added security in Vista does 
cause some problems, which could be related to your issues.  The MS4W 
README has a few notes on Vista (for installing the Apache service):

Could it also be a permissions issue for your problems?
