Might sound strange but TGB is focused around OpenGL and unless you have a true 3D card (ATI / NVIDIA) with actual (few days to two weeks old) drivers your Vista is focused around DX only and won't have that much fun.
Using the DX driver is no solution as it is seriously slower than OpenGL.

It worked for me out of the box. I've only got 512mb of RAM so it's (Vista) a little sluggish.

As noted elsewhere, don't install into program files - you won't be able to access your working directories.
Change video driver to Open GL.

I have it up and running on Vista with no trouble. Like Peter said don't install it to the Program Files.

Or disable UAC and run on Admin account, for a dev the only usefull solution anyway until Vista SP1 which fixes the whole list of problems with the current UAC implementation.
