Hello all,

thx for this big release. I decided to chose the clean install and after 4h of reconfiguring and very quick testing I got some findings, related with non-admin-rights. I know that not all people think the same way, but I always try to work as non-admin and change to the admin account only for installations and updates. So here the findings:

• The error log complained about the registry key HKLM\software\Team Media Portal... not being accessible
• The data directory (C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Team MediaPortal) is too restrictive. Should have writing rights for all users.
• The OFDB & Co collector scripts which are downloaded automagically from the Configuration have their own restrictive access right i.s.o. inheriting them from the parent directory
• Finally, I'm using MPtail and placed it beneath the MP program directory. MPtail keep a MPTailConfig.xml in the same directory, which by default has no write access to non-admins.

All of these are easy to solve on operational level - just grant access rights recursively to the parent directories. However I think this may be solved for future releases.
