Windows Vista tries to protect you from the big bad world out there -- which 
apparently includes any application that wants to update it's own files and is 
installed under the "program files" folder.  I resolved this problem by 
installing Stata under c:\Stata9 instead of c:\program files\Stata9.

p.s. good luck trying to find and disable off all the new "features" in Vista --  
eventually you can actually make it usable ;)
