What are the errors you are experiencing?

Are you getting access denied errors? If so, it may be due to the
different file access permissions. What happens when you create/delete
the files produced by winetest in the %TEMP% directory in the explorer
GUI?

Do you get/need a UAC prompt for it to work? Have you tried adding UAC
information to the manifest if this is the case?

Sorry I can't help out any further as I abandoned Vista a long time ago ^_^.
