    Somehow you need to get it to run with Run As Admin, which you can normally
    do with a short-cut or an exe. So, you need to figure out how you're going
    to do it with that command above.

    Or you can do a search with Google on how to install Apache on Vista, if it
    can even run on Vista.

    Hello "unknown"

    Please make sure the full path to httpd.exe DOES NOT contain space
    characters. This will not run in Program Files directory. The best solution
    is to install in in root:
    C:\Apache\...

    Then Right click on cmd.exe and choose to run it as administrator.

    Better idea is to use autoinstaller available on apache.org
