Windows installers crash without useful explanation, when Python is located in /Program Files/Python27 and the installer is started without admin rights/UAC. I experienced this with Windows 8 and installers for packages pandas and rtree.

a) show error message instead of crash

As I don't use distutils for packaging, I am just guessing it would make sense to:

b) let bdist_wininst --user-access-control default to 'auto'
