[issue1232947] non-admin install may fail (win xp pro)

[Mark Hammond]

Mark Hammond <mhammond at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I can repro this too using python-2.6a2.msi - after selecting "just for
me" on XP running as a non-admin user, I see an error message regarding
permissions.  On vista, I get an elevation prompt (and if I hit "allow",
installation proceeds as if I had selected 'for all users' - ie,
HKLM\Python is written, rather than HKCU, shortcuts are written to "all
users" folder, uninstall requires elevation)

I'm attaching the log after canceling installation at the elevation
prompt under Vista.
