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)

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)

One thing that you can try is this installer:
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalInstall.exe
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.)
