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
