Ok, I have to apologize for being so vague.
I tried to install proTEXT with the 2007 DVD. Installation invariably failed whether I chose ConTeXt or proTEXT at the dialog box.
TeX Live has been released befor Vista came out, and I have heard that the installer (GUI) doesn't work properly (TeX itself could with some tweaking). If you don't need LuaTeX, you can try to install MikTeX (www.miktex.org)
After that, I downloaded the standalone Windows distribution from the Pragma-ADE site. It downloaded and extracted OK, and running cstart.bat opens SciTE, as probably it should.
A few folders deeper there's a setuptex.bat. You can launch setuptex.bat . and then compile your documents with texexec filename (but you may not leave the shell where you executed setuptex)
I have some way to go to typeset my first document, but I think I will manage. I suppose there is no 'install' choise after this point.
One thing that you can try is this installer: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalInst... That one will install ConTeXt, but has not been tested on Vista yet (and is more experimental that MikTeX). (When I last tried to use it, the scripts had problems generating mptopdf formats, but that's not too critical.)
Again, sorry for wasting some of your time. I had only used the simple OS X installation with TeXShop so far.
