Install issue on Windows and directory permission

Here I found an installation issue:

- I was installing pg 8.1 on a Windows 2000 box.

- I chose a different folder than default (D:\PGSERVER did not exist yet)

- When installing, the setup complained about not being able to write into
the directory

- I check the directory permissions and saw that the "Everyone" group does
not have "Modify" permissions

- After setting the "Modify" permission, the setup continued and finished
okay.

Um, so what actually is the problem?

Just a point of attention... Perhaps one is interested to fix this (if it is
a bug);

If you mean that you have to grant permissions, that's already in the
FAQ.
