Dear fellas, First of all, I'd like to congratulate Wichert and all others that may have worked with him to put up a buildout-based Plone installer for Windows. I am not an expert in Zope and/or Python yet, but for guys like me buildout really eases the pains in trying out new products, configurations, etc. And from what I've read, it helps for developers.
I have only one question: when I used the Unified Installer in Linux, it allowed me to install Plone as root or as a regular user. All of the installation would be self-contained in a folder (suggested to be /opt/Plone-3.1), including a dedicated Python interpreter. The server would be started in a /etc/init.d script. In the old Windows installer, although Plone is nicely contained in its own folder, alongside with Python, setuptools and all, it needed me to be a local administrator, in order to install the windows service I guess. Is there a way I can install the buildout installer or the old one without being the admin? I would like just to setup a test environment, but I don't need the service - I plan to start Zope manually. By the way, that would be a nice version for a future release: a "zipped" installation without installer, you just put it in a location, unzip it, and work with it from the command line.
