Has anyone installed GIMP 2.4 on Vista? Any problems? I'd like to try it, but didn't see Vista listed on supported platforms.

It seems to work fine, I had to "Run as Administrator"..and it hangs for a few moments when loading fonts and seems not to respond, but it always loads.

I've tried a few plugins and so far so good.

I've used 2.4rc1, 2.4rc2 and 2.4rc3 on Vista with no problems. I haven't needed to run as administrator. The only issue I had was one of my plugins from Gimp 2.2 caused a hang - the 2.4 install copied all the plugins over. It was texturize.exe which was compiled back in 2005 and was the oldest of my plugins. I just deleted that from the 2.4 plugins directory and all was fine.
