You got that wrong. 1.5.24 runs on Vista.

Yes, it's the `install.exe' tool from coreutils. There's no fix for
that so far. The right fix would be to add a manifest file for
install.exe to the coreutils package.
Eric, given that I pasted a matching manifest file in one of my mails
about this Vista "feature"(*), would you mind to create a new coreutils
package which contains this manifest file in /usr/bin alongside with
install.exe? The problem is that the base-whatever script potentially
fails on Vista otherwise, depending on the UAC settings. I know how
frustrating this is, but we have no chice, really.
