windows installer needs admin signaling about argparse

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is the default installer built by "python setup.py bdist_wininst" (using 
Python
2.6). Seems there was some discussion of these kinds of problems on the 
distutils
list in 2007, but I can't figure out if it was resolved or not:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2007-July/007805.html

I recommend you file a bug report at http://bugs.python.org. You should 
probably tell
them a couple pieces of information:

* Did you try to install it from an account with administrator privileges or 
without?
* Where is your Python installation? E.g. C:\Python26 or C:\Program Files\...

My future plans are only to distribute .msi files (using "bdist_msi"), but 
there are
a couple of patches (on python.org) that need to go in, and PyPI still doesn't
support their upload.

This should be fixed in the argparse 1.0 .msi distribution. Please reopen this 
ticket
if it isn't.
