This applies to all attempts to get condor using preinstalled
applications on windows due to the restricted permissions.

While it is stated in the windows section (without mentioning BOINC in
particular) it may be worth mentioning in the Boinc section that the
executing user requires priviledges to the install of BOINC as a
reminder (not read the section in question so if one already exists
ignore this).
