What about Vista? Do you need to use the Administrator account to
install it?

My currently understanding is that the ActivePython installer will prompt for administrator privileges if required. I know that if the current user is a member of the administrators *group* (different from being the "Administrator" *user*), that this is sufficient to install and use ActivePython.

I've started this bug:
  http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=80974
to test installation as a user that is not a member of the admin group and to update the ActivePython installation docs with that info.

I'd appreciate comments on your experiences, esp. if it looks like something is going awry with the ActivePython installer.

Sincerely,
Trent
