RIght, Vista's quirky "Yes, I'm the administrator but no, wait, not unless you REALLY mean it." I'd also suggest not using the installer, but downloading the zipped package and doing a manual install. There's many tutorials online how to do this. Cheers. Armando Stut wrote:

hi, I just started using windows vista on a new computer and it wont let me install php it tells me that my user doesnt have the rights necesary. Yet my user is the administrator. these are the errors it gives me !
In Vista the administrator does not run with administrative rights all the time. If you are trying to install it with the installer, right-click on the setup file and select "Run as administrator". If that's not how you're trying to install it please explain what actions you are taking. -Stut
