It is now just over  a week since I got my hands on Windows Vista and I’m still fighting to install things on it. It started off well, I managed to install AVG AntiVirus without any problems, then came Apache, again no problems what so ever. Next on the list was PHP from Zend, and this is where the problems started, it crashed out with out an error. After some investigation I tried disabling User Access Control, this resulted in PHP installing without a problem - yippie! I thought my prays had been answered and that all the other programsI had to install would go on with no problems, alas I was wrong! I  downloaded MySQL and tried installing that and yes you guessed it, it failed to install correctly.

Tonight is going to be spent trawling the web trying to find a solution to install MySQL on Windows Vista Business edition. If I can’t find an answer I will be install Window XP on my laptop and doing away with  Windows  Vista,  as I’m really started to hate it now!
