Hi guys after poking around I found the fix. Vista does some more strict parameter checking and needs some help with finding stuff.
Here is what I did to fix:
1. Install MinGW to c:\MinGW
2. Set Mingw env variable=c:\MinGw
3. Add c:\MinGW\Bin to path
(from here on is the Vista-specific fixes)
4. Add C:\MinGW\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\3.2.3 to your path
5. Create an environment variable named GCC_EXEC_PREFIX and set it to c:\MinGW
That should do it. Note, I suggest you install MinGW to c:\MinGW since from what I have seen the GCC_EXEC_PREFIX fix may not work unless it refers to a directory off the root.
Hope this helps!

Just in case! ;)
