The comment on the change is:
edited to reflect how I got Apache working under Vista x64

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  command to run that command line as an administrative user, or set the "Run as administrator"
  flag on the Compatibility tab of the Properties of httpd.exe.
  
+ === Vista x64 Install Notes ===
+ 
+ Used win32 httpd v2.2.4 and Windows Vista x64
+ 
+ To get it running on Vista x64 I switched off User Account Control, rebooted, then installed apache to c:\users\%username%\programs\apache  (that means I just installed it into my homedir)
+ I plan on just using apache for local testing before uploading to a dedicated webserver, options at install where to not run as a service, but to listen on port 8080 when run manually
+ 
+ Installing to the default location of C:\Program Files (x86)\ resulted in the httpd.conf file not being created, as well as other errors such as apache ignoring the -f option to specify where the httpd.conf should be
+ 
+ Vista x64 has certain security requirements for programs installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\ and doesnt like programs to read/write there. Also there is less compatibility for programs not fully Vista compliant.
