I think both, although the problematic symlinks were created through
alternatives.

As I said, I don't understand it either.  It seems my installations were
all using the primary group for the account that does the install (which
does have administrative rights and is separate from my normal user
account on most machines).  The primary group is either "None" for the
build machine that only uses local accounts and is not a member of any
domain or "Domain Users" otherwise.

The new code uses "Administrators", but that seems to have the side
effect of denying "normal" users access to the installation and instead
weaves in extra DACL for SYSTEM.

As long as there's an option to force it to keep the former behaviour
things should be OK, but I haven't really checked if and how this is
possible.


Regards,
Achim.
