-This is the README for the %package_name% binary distribution for 
-Windows, version %version%.
-
-* Although CouchDB defaults to installing into your "Program Files" directory,
-  the permissions on the 'var' and 'etc' sub-directories have been adjusted 
-  to allow modification by any authorized user so the couchdb databases, logs 
-  and .ini files can be written.  You may like to further restrict these 
-  permissions to only the user who will be running couchdb.
-
-* The installer offers to install CouchDB as a Windows Service.  If you select
-  this option, the service will run as the "LocalSystem" user and be 
-  configured to start automatically.  You can configure the service properties
-  via the Windows 'Services' applet.
-
-* To start CouchDB in a "console" environment, execute couchdb.bat in the 
-  'bin' directory.  A shortcut to this batch file should have been installed.
-  Don't try and start couchdb this way if the service is running - it will 
-  fail.
-
-* The Futon application which comes with CouchDB does not work with
-  Internet Explorer - Mozilla Firefox is generally recommended.
-
-* The test suite is known to fail on Windows due to what appear to be
-  permissions errors; this is due to couch being unable to delete a 
-  file while it is in use on Windows.

-
-* Additional help with the Windows support is needed - please contact the
-  couchdb-dev list if you can help.
