User Account Control in Vista extends to the Command Prompt. If you get a "you do not have permission..." error, it's probably because you need administrator permissions to run the command. Here's how to run from the command prompt as administrator:

Click Start, in the Start Search box, type command. A list of of matches will appear above. Right-click Command Prompt in Programs list, and then click Run as administrator. You will likely be prompted for an administrator confirmation, or a password. Type your password or click Continue.

A simple solution if you want to run the command prompt as administrator in Vista is to open the Start Menu, type in "cmd" in the bar along the bottom, then instead of just pressing enter, press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER instead. It will then show up as "Administrator: Command Prompt" in the window title.
