On client side MantisBT needs a webbrowser to run. Working with IE6, IE7 and IE8 is possible, so that there should be no problems running on Windows Vista.

On server side you need a webserver (Apache, IIS, ...), support for PHP (at least version 5.2.x) and a database (mySQL (preferred), MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle)
This is also all available for Windows Vista and should work. I don't have own experience for this in production environment, sometimes I use it for testing purposes.

One question. I'm not clear. You can use Mantis in Windows Vista with Google Chrome?

Do you mean running as a user, or running mantis on your server (running Vista). If you mean on your personal computer, then yes Mantis should run just fine.

I had problems running Chrome on vista. Several form fields refused to work properly and popup calendars would always pop off to the left of the page. Very odd. It's fine on W7 though.
know it's a bit of a cliche but I just love fresh coffee in the mornings so I wrote this website about the cuisinart coffee maker dcc 1200

I like to think of myself as a bit of a yachtsman and so I create my own boat hull designs.
