Interesting. The installer is signed by Symantec. You should be able to verify this by opening the Properties dialog on the installer file itself. Not sure what more we can do here, do you have any more knowledge? > - It ignored my attempt to change the installation directory to > D:\CouchDB and just installed in C:\CouchDB. Fixed. We now pick the drive with the most free space (a Windows Installer default behaviour), and respect your choice if you choose to pick a different drive. https://github.com/apache/couchdb-glazier/commit/292c64739e56f2da9c990a7d8dd287cb5b54dc9e I can't upload a new rc unless this vote fails, so this will have to be a Known Issue for the Windows installer for now. I suspect the PMC can see their way clear to uploading a new convenience binary installer for 2.0.0 once the vote passes. > - The installed program did not appear in Control Panel, Programs > and > Features.

If this error bothers you just edit the etc\vm.args file and remove the line that says "+K true". Besides, who knows - maybe someday Windows Erlang will support kernel polling! :) -Joan
