I knew that, Thomas. I just said that some may click the wrong button... If
you click "Cancel", there's not way you get the DW again, right?
IMO, after a restart, if the DB is still empty, it would be nice to have
Distribution Wizard showing up again.

ok cool I didn't know that. Sorry about sending a false proposal. So I guess
it means there's already a check for empty DB since when the DB is
not empty the DW only appears when you're logged in with a user with admin
rights.

Again you do get the DW the first time, it always worked like this.
Please guys try things before stating unexisting issues.
So now what remains how is to understand Pablo's problem and the issue
Danilo
said he faced when installing XWiki too.
Pablo was using the wrong login for standard Admin user ("admin"
instead of "Admin").
Danilo can you explain precisely what you did and what problem you
faced? Because
if you follow the normal procedure here's what happens:
* you install XWiki
* you start XWiki
* the distribution wizard appears
* you follow the wizard
* the wizard installs all the pages including an admin user (Admin/admin)
* when the wizard exists you can log in using Admin/admin
Now, if you cancel or skip the distribution wizard you'll have an empty
wiki
and no admin user installed.
Thanks
