Subject: Installing GNAT GPL 2010 on Vista

Be advised: GNAT GPL 2010 did not install correctly for me on Windows
Vista with User Account Control turned on.  It raised a "cannot modify
HKLM" error, and it did not install Start menu shortcuts or modify my
path (so who knows what else it also didn't do...).  Manually
configuring these two items was insufficient to subsequently install
GtkAda (GtkAda installer did not recognize that GNAT was installed).

Recommendation:  turn off User Account Control during the installation
of GNAT GPL 2010.  So far this work-around seems to have fixed the
problems above.
