New submission from Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
As I reported in http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2008-April/009398.html easy_install on a 64 bits Python on a 64 bits Windows is broken in that it gives the following error: Cannot find Python executable C:\Python25\python.exe I believe that due to cli.exe and gui.exe (built from launcher.c) being 32-bits executables they are trying to use 32-bit specific calls which fail on a 64 bits Windows. As Mark Hammond said in http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2008-May/009462.html: "I suspect that the issue is that a 32bit cli.exe or gui.exe is attempting to LoadLibrary a 64bit executable and failing (specifically, loadable_exe() in launcher.c)" ---------- messages: 2 nosy: asmodai priority: urgent status: unread title: easy_install broken on 64 bits Windows _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue2> _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
