Well...  I have just had it too...

I use a computer of my school.  echo %programfiles% shows C:\Program 
Files.  I tried to create a directory inside, I do not have the right to 
do it.  When I start ekiga-setup, it proposes me to install in C:\Docs 
and Settings\ededu/Ekiga.  I have not yet completed the install process.

I will investigate it very soon, I have to go now.

In the mean time, does someone know what should I try?
