Remember that, on Vista, unlike previous systems, logging in as an
administrator does not automatically give every process administrator
privileges. This is one of the most invasive and annoying attributes of
Vista. To get administrator privileges, a process has to be "elevated"
(memories of Young Frankenstein).
As a first test, does it work if you run it from an elevated command line?
