I can confirm the x64 version of DAEMON Tools work on Vista.

Oh, it works; Vista just doesn't add the drives. You must do so manually for the first time.
Try setting the number of drives to 4, then go to Add Hardware and "add" the drives to Vista.

I actually got it to work without doing Add Hardware, I installed SP1 RC not sure if that changes the difference because it wasn't picking up the driver for the virtual cd/dvd rom before but now it did.

I guess the PnP is working better with the Service Pack. That's good to hear.
