Installing Apache on Vista

Apache is another program that doesn't quite work on Vista without a little research. This one doesn't seem to be quite as bad, but the problem is as evident as some of the other problems I had. Basically, you have to give the Apache msi admin access so that it can write to the Windows Services.

Luckily, I wasn't the first that had the problem:

This is a little old, but I just found this post when searching for a solution to the same problem:

Go to Start | All Programs | Accessories, then right-click on "Command Prompt", and select "Run as administrator". This will open a command prompt window with admin rights. Navigate to the directory where you saved the apache*.msi install file, and type "msiexec /i apache*.msi" (where apache*.msi is the actual name of the file - hint: type apache and then hit tab, it should fill in the file name automatically). Hit enter, and the rest should work just fine, it did for me. Hope this helps.

Thanks HiVizDiver, it does indeed help.
