 Current version of QGIS Windows installer (1.4.0 standalone) gives no
 warning to user if user has no write permission to selected installation
 folder. I.e. when installer is running as user (not admin) and destination
 is "Program FileZ" or other ro folder.

 Correct solution would be something like this pseudocode (I have no idea
 how installer works): "mkdir $foo; if $? <> 0 { echo 'You have no
 permission. Try to run as admin!'; exit 1; }"
