Does anyone run their server on Vista?

[BlueWizard]

Hey all,

I know Vista is crap, but I'm looking to get my test server up on an older laptop while I'm getting my legs under me.

I'm running the Installer and it just seems to end early. There are no files/folders created.

Does anyone know how to get the installer working on Vista? I've looked in the forums and wiki and didn't find anything (yet).

Thanks,
BW

personally, I would just download a free copy of Centos, install it and go from there. It is linux. So you would have to learn a new operating system. Honestly that's the absolute best case scenario. Windows sucks, this would give you a chance to get comfortable with an open source free operating system.. If that's not to your taste, then disregard and wait for another comment. :)
