#489: Installer fails in Windows Vista
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: CobraA1 | Owner: datallah
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Component: winpidgin (gtk)
Version: 2.0 | Keywords: installer, windows, uac

--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
The installer fails on Windows Vista, due to attempting to write files
without administrative privileges. Under Windows Vista, anything under
"Program Files" must have administrative privileges for write permissions.
Workaround: Right click on installer and use "Run as administrator."
Fix: Make the installer UAC aware, so it can obtain administrative
privileges automatically.
