(I assume you entered a service username and password as well, because
there is no way to get past that dialog without it)

Ok. There is indeed a bug here. Seems this codepath is not exercised a
lot - most people follow the advice not to store their data on FAT ;-)
And the other tests just exercised the case when you didn't do a service
install at all.

The pgperm.bat file incorrectly tries to do cacls on the DATA directory
even if it's installed on FAT. It correctly skips the bin, lib, share
etc paths, but not DATA.

Dave has committed a fix for this and it will be in the release.
