I can confirm, GnuPG v1.4.8 works fine on Vista 64bit (german).

Just set the Path to the gnupg executeable in Enigmail Options
(Thunderbird > OpenPGP > Settings)
"Other Path" to your location - on my side it is:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe"


The " (x86)" in the Name is important as Vista 64 installs 32bit and
64bit software in different directories.
