Description

This quickfix consists in setting the default install dir to be c:\XWiki Enteprise instead of Program Files (since Program Files is read only on Windows7 and thus XWiki will fail to write to it)

See XE-1051 for the proper fix which is available only for 4.2M1+. We didn't backport it since it contains too many changes and was thus too risky for the 4.1 final release.

Seems that using the following doesn't work (it should work according to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/IZPACK-64):

<res id="TargetPanel.dir.windows_7" src="${xwiki.defaultDirWindows7}"/>

Thus I'm going to install in the C: root on all windows installs till this is fixed in 4.2.
