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.
