Yes, I did notice icacls.exe running when I used the task manager to see what processes were consuming cpu cycles or doing disk writes. In fact, icacls.exe was the only thing using the cpu or the disk; the postgres process was idle. I also noticed this icacls.exe issue being discussed in the bug mailing list after I had already submitted my bug report. >Is your PC on a domain?

This sounds like it might be another icacls.exe case. Can I get you to check the task manager for "icacls" while the install is hung?
