There are a few fragmented posts about Movable Type and windows installation, and an excellent article written by Chad Everitt in Learning Movable Type.


To install Movable Type on Windows Vista first you need to install PHP, MySQL and Perl.


The Movable Type installation guide references the tools that you need at http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/install/, Maximum PC Guides provide an installation introduction to doing this at:


http://www.maximumpcguides.com/how-to-create-a-windows-vista-iis7-mysql-php-web-server/


After you follow this guide you should be able to see a php page through localhost.


Then move on to Install Movable Type Under Windows (IIS). This will provide you with all the information needed to configure cgi scripts and the movable type environment.


Finally, modify the publishing settings to match the directory in IIS that you want the site to appear. Remember to open permissions on the directory so that Movable Type can write files and folders.
