I'm using the pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.6.msi installer with a fresh

folder to
fix this. I don't have an APPDATA environment variable set, perhaps
this is
being assumed to exist and as it is not set it is being installed in

hi,
which version of windows are you using?
Also, which user did you install it under?
cheers,
I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3. I tried to install it both
under 'All Users' and 'Just for me', neither worked. The user account
I was using was not an administrator account on the system.
It also turns out the APPDATA environment variable is set, I just
can't see it in the Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment
variables list, but it is in the os.environ dictionary in python.
Tom
Update: I just managed to run the installer as an administrator and the
installation worked correctly. I thought that .msi installers got round
the issue of having to be an administrator to install things?
