SOLVED: I did the following:
Copy the contents of
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\wpdmtp.inf_3eba85bf to a
temporary directory. Connect the camera, when it asks for the CD, tell it you
don't have one and want to point to a location yourself. Enter the name of
the temporary directory. Now VISTA installs the driver and the camera can be
accessed!
