Here's the direct quote:

Looks like SETUP.EXE can't write the config file. Check if the folder where you installed Warcraft is not marked as read-only.

Problem Solved
I wasnt running setup.exe through dosbox, just strait off the C drive. Selected the right options, works just fine.

Then you must have mounted something incorrectly in DosBox, hence it didn't save the configuration file. Or it's an issue with Vista not giving DosBox access to modify files or something.
