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

fix this. I don't have an APPDATA environment variable set, perhaps this

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?
Tom
yeah, it's usually all worked out for me in the past. This is the
first I've heard of this problem... we pretty much use the default
msi installer builder from python with a couple of extensions... so it
should be working ok.
Do you remember which user you installed python under?
I can't find an msi related bug at bugs.python.org (only looked very quickly).
Do you have PYTHONPATH set? Maybe it is set to "" or "C:\" ?
cheers,
Ok, I've reinstalled python, both using the administrator account and
the unpriveleged user account. In both cases pygame doesn't install
correctly as an unpriveleged user, but does using the administrator account.
I don't have PYTHONPATH set.
