First off, the new installer is very nice and seems to work real nice on server

My pleasure :)
To preempt some bug reports, if you are running windows and get the following
error on tests:
{"error":"error","reason":"eacces"}
First check your folder permissions. If you can do run as admin and do the test
suite with no errors, you should immediately be thinking that you have a
permission issue. You may also have better results installing to a directory
outside of program files.
I'd love to hear if anyone manages this, but I'm fairly confident these
ideas will not solve the problem:
* As mentioned in the readme, the installer adjusts permissions on the
directories with the DB. If you can use Futon to, eg, create an empty
database, permissions are OK. In other words, "access denied" when
*deleting* the test database certainly isn't a permissions issue, as the
test suite previously managed to *create* it.
* Many of those tests work successfully if you run them manually and
retry a few times. Often they work on the second attempt, sometimes
even more are needed, and sometimes I just resort to restarting couch
itself - the *first* test you attempt to run after a restart almost
always works OK.
The problem is simply that couchdb itself is trying to delete a file
from the file-system while couchdb itself still has that file open.
This works on most platforms other than Windows. This same problem will
prevent compaction working (actually, it *does* compact OK, but fails to
swap in the newly compacted database as the old one is still in use by
couch itself)
I will also be updating the installer page I wrote to point the user to the
new, official 0.10, installer.
Excellent, thanks!
Cheers,
Mark
