Comment (by jmckenna):

 "In r1027, r1028 and r1029 I have added a hacky "--safe" mode that skips a
 bunch of win32 calls related to administrative capabilities. This safe
 mode can be turned on with the --safe commandline switch to setup. I would
 consider making this the default, but I don't really understand what the
 code I'm disabling does.

 The changes can be seen at:

 http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/changeset?new=osgeo4w%2Fsetup%401029&old=osgeo4w%2Fsetup%401026

 Tamas, I'm uploading a new osgeo4w-setup.exe. I'd appreciate it if you
 could test it sometime on win64 (passing the --safe switch) and see if it
 works.

 My debugging conditions on my test win2003 server were very painful
 (remote desktop over a very high latency link) so I did not try and do a
 good job of debugging, just hack around the problem code. Further analysis
 of this problem will be needed some day."  --frank
