93 Make sure you install with a user who has administration rights and run the installed XWiki server with that same user. Otherwise you might get some permission problems. They can be fixed by giving permission to the other user to write in the directories XWiki writes to. Those depend on the XWiki version you use:
94 * Before 4.0.1 and 4.1M1, 4.1M2: The directory where you installed XWiki Enterprise (the default location is #[[##C:\Program Files\XWiki Enterprise##]]#)
95 * 4.0.1 and 4.1: #[[##C:\XWiki Enterprise##]]#
96 * 4.2M1+: The XWiki Data directory in #[[##%APPDATA%\XWiki\<version>\data##]]#
97 {{/warning}}
98
99 {{warning}}
100 If you install on Windows 7 and if you're using a version of XWiki < 4.1 then you'll need to be careful **not** to install in the #[[##Program Files##]]# directory. This is because of new security measures in Windows 7 which prevent from writing in the ##Program Files## directory. A possible location is at the root of your C drive (e.g. #[[##C:\XWiki Enterprise##]]#).

125 If you've installed the Demo zip with the Standard Flavor pre-installed, you can log in using the default {{code language="none"}}Admin{{/code}} user (first letter is capitalized). The default password is {{code language="none"}}admin{{/code}} (lowercase). If you're instaled another package, the Distribution Wizard will have led you to create an admin user. Just log in with it.

127 You should read [[Getting Started Guide>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.WebHome]] to learn how to use XWiki.
