+ Should several tests fail with "permission errors", check the Windows service parameters.  You will need to be logged in from an Administrator account to do this.
+  * After installation, start the Windows ''Services'' management component.
+  * Click on ''Apache CouchDB'' service and select the [''Log On'']] tab.
+  * You may find that "'''''Log on as'':'''" has not been set.  You can either select
+   *  ''Local System account'', or
+   *  ''This account'' and specify a user or other account on your PC.
+  * If you are using your CouchDB outside your own machine, say on the LAN -- Using the ''This account'' option with curtailed privileges is highly recommended (''by me'').
