In Windows, roundup-admin.bat fails because it will not
accept any answer to the question about which template
to use (classic or minimal).  Regardless of whether I
type 'classic' or 'minimal' or hit enter to accept the
default, I just get re-prompted on the same question.

I noted the error about old-style templates, then
copied the 'templates' folder from the roundup source
into the location above and re-ran the admin script.
same result as before. 

Delving into the admin.py and init.py scripts, I see
that my user input is not accepted because there's no
match against the list of available templates, because
the list is empty because of the error about old-style
templates.  in init.py you test whether the templates
are new-style or old-style by checking for the presence
of config.py. Since your install script (and my manual
copy) copies the templates into place, the pre-existing
config.py remains in place and thus the new templates
are determined to be old-style. 

Suggested fix:
1. the install script should delete the old template
folder if it exists
2. if the admin script finds that the template folder
contains old-style templates, or the list of templates
is empty for any reason, the script should abort with
some instructions. 

Hope that helps!
cheers

You should read "Upgrading to newer versions of Roundup"
before upgrading.  In particular, section "Migrating from
0.7.1 to 0.8.0": "You *must* fully uninstall previous
Roundup version before installing Roundup 0.8.0. If you
don't do that, roundup-admin install command may fail to
function properly."

Package uninstall is a duty of your package manager - that's
not the thing Roundup can do itself.
