[issue1284316] Win32: Security problem with default installation directory

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Note that Ezio and Flox have been improving the test suite and code to handle paths-with-spaces better.  Perhaps we will eventually get to the point where it is possible to fix this, although Tim's point about python being a CLI/scripting tool remains.

Or perhaps the permissions of the actual install directory could be changed at install time if the install is done by an administrator.
