I had about the same mixed feelings.
The installer nags the person that does
the install (the admin) to provide details,
that are ineffective for normal users, since the
feature doesn't work as intended for normal
users later on (the details entered affect
only the admin user).
This is probably calling for a two part install.
First part by admin when doing the
install for all users on a computer, second part
when a user does his first commit ("Hey! You haven't
setup a user name. We need to know this for commiting.
Please enter your details below...").
(IIRC someone even complained somewhere that
mercurial doesn't use his corporate LDAP username
database :)
Probably yet some more argument for migrating to
WiX installer... (see Issue 73).
