Ned Deily added the comment: Regarding tests trying to write into the install directory tree, I'm pretty sure that there have been fixes added for those but I can't recall off the top of my head specific examples. I think the best approach is to use a temporary, writable directory instead; if

Ned Deily added the comment: "Not sure that we have any precedent for dealing with tests that require admin privileges when installed but not in the source tree?" I think we do. With the OS X installer (and, in theory, other Posix-style installs), we have a similar situation where tests are i

Steve Dower added the comment: Should have been right there with those two options, looking basically the same. Though it's possible that something about your machine is messing with the sizing - high DPI on Windows 7 is notorious for that, and there are sure to be other potential causes too.
