#1489: winGRASS: don't even try to install if C:\Programms\GRASS XX not writable

The installer should test if the target directory is writable. If not,
stop with "Administrator rights needed to install GRASS GIS".
104 ;Request application privileges for Windows Vista
105 RequestExecutionLevel admin
I've changed this long time ago to above.
so by a double click on the wingrass-installer you should be asked (by a
windows message box) if you want to proceed with admin rights to install
wingrass.
tested here with winxp, winvista, win7 and I'm asked in all cases.
As "silly user" I double-clicked (with left) the installer. Nothing was
asked and it just started.

... written to fast ... my winxp-laptop is now a ubuntu box ;o), so
nothing to test winxp here anymore:
104 ;Request application privileges for Windows Vista
it's only for WinVista and above.
on WinXp right click and "run as admin" should be the way installing
programs.
it's an old issue with winxp, just google it ... ;o)
