ASPNET_SETREG in the Vista world

I am investigating using ASPNET_SETREG to handle credentials which are not kept in a web.config file.   I am running on Vista (64 bit).
When I download and run the executable I cannot find the registry key that was supposed to have been created.  I have looked using regedt32.exe on the sam login as I ran aspnet_setreg.exe.
I have been looking around for experience with aspnet_setreg.exe and Vista but that combination has not shown up at all.

What's the deal here?  Is aspnet_setreg.exe compatible with Vista?   Is there another version of the tool which is compatible with Vista?   (I do not expect to run servers on Vista but that is my development environment.)

Thanks.
