On a somewhat related note, I have had spectacular lack of success
in getting either MSVC or MinGW builds to work on Vista - so much so
that I have currently abandoned my attempts on that platform and I
resorted to resuscitating an old XP box for testing. Following some
advice from Magnus, I added ACLs to the build root for both an admin
and a non-admin user (cacls buildroot /E /T /G AdminUser:C and
similarly for a non-admin user) . I can build as the admin user but
when I come to run initdb it fails, complaining that it can't find
the postgres executable.
Yeah, I ran into that problem as well. I'll look at my Vista box when
I'm in the office tomorrow and see if I can figure out what hack
fixed it for me.
I have never heard back on this, AFAIK. If anyone has instructions on
how to manage this please let me know. My current status with
MSVC/vista is still that I can build but not run as an admin user, and
run but not build as a non-admin user. Bleah.

Described situation looks like you are trying to run initdb under Admin
account. This will happen even if currently logged user in not admin,
but initdb has property 'run as administrator' set or you are trying to
run it under some file commander which is running in admin mode.
