Installing Apache 2.2 on Vista

I ran into a couple problems today installing Apache HTTP Server v2.2 on Vista x64. Here's the problems, and the workarounds:

1. Install
   You can't simply click on the Apache install msi and have everything work as it should. You'll get permission errors like service not installed or service not found.

   The solution that I found (via google) is to right click on command prompt in the start menu and select Run as administrator. Once there, navigate to the folder holding your Apache install msi and run it manually. Ish. I'm sure there's a better way, but I wasn't patient enough to find it.

2. Editing httpd.conf
   This was frustrating. I edited the http.conf file, and when I went to save it, I got an error message saying the file could not be created or something like that.

   The solution is to either modify the security properties of http.conf (giving your user modify access), or run notepad as the administrator (as we did above for command prompt). I'd modify the security settings if I were you.
