The THG installer installes THG and Mercurial.

You might request that the THG installer could install only parts of the
system, if not enough privileges were available.

THG is based on Inno Setup, and a simple script can handle only one
permission level. It is possible with some advanced programming to handle
several permission levels. This is how TortoiseSvn provides an installer
that will work for both admins and non-admins. TSVN uses a WiX installer
which works differently from Inno Setup.

I would like a THG installer which can handle both permission levels ... but
think it will require a fair amount of knowledge about installation to write
such a thing. multi-permission-level is easy with WiX, but it also requires
effort to rewrite the installer.
