Hello,


I can't install the beta 4 on my windows system because it is XP Home
Edition.

The choices about rights made for the installer seem to be a real problem
because XP Home Edition has seemlessly only two rights policies : quite full
for the administrator and quite none for the users.

As PGsql8 beta4 choose not to be administrator and as XP Home Edition choose
a user can't install some softwares, i can't install PostgreSQL 8.0.0-beta4

Moreover, the msi installer did create a directory "8.0.0-beta4", i cannot
access and i cannot delete ! (even as an administrator of course).


Is there anything i can change about that ? I know it is not a real bug as
it seems to be intended that way but it is very annoyfull.
