But I don't actually know any details of how MikTeX configures things. (Or was this TW from a TeX Live installation on the Win7 machine? That directory name looks rather texlive-ish.)

the original question was regadring TW from MikTeX on Wista.

I currently do not have access to a Vista, I'd better get me a Win7 for 
testing.

Will test both when I get access to it.
