Installation problem on Windows XP

[Vinny Abello]

You need to install BIND using an account with administrative privileges
but specify a non privileged account for it to run under. They are two
different things. Login to the workstation with an account that you are
sure has rights to install software. It sounds like the install program
cannot create the necessary keys in the registry for the service.
