Windows exe installer bug

[boden]

It appears to be impossible to install 2.1 RC1 (win exe installer) on a Windows system that does not have a C:.  When C: does not exist, the "Browse" button in the "Choose Destination Location" window pukes with the following error:

Error: window name "__choose_directory" already exists in parent

In this case there does not appear to be any way to choose an appropriate installation path.  Developers should not make assumptions about drive letters.

Workaround:

Map drive letter C to the administrative share of the drive you're installing to. 

For example: if the name of the machine you're installing on is "fred", and fred has a hard drive "E:", then map "C:" to \\fred\e$

This will let you use the Browse feature in the installer to choose an appropriate folder to install to.
