Category: Distutils Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Richard Jones (richard) >Assigned to: Thomas Heller (theller) Summary: 2.4 & 2.5 can't create win installer on linux Initial Comment: With python 2.4.3 and 2.5 I can't build a Windows installer on Linux. I get the following error: Warning: Can't read registry to find the necessary compiler setting Make sure that Python modules _winreg, win32api or win32con are installed. removing 'build/bdist.linux-i686/wininst' (and everything under it) I can still create an installer with 2.3.5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-10-04 08:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The message you get is a warning only; you can ignore it. However, it still fails because it can't determine what msvcrt version the target python was built with. It needs to find that out because it needs to decide whether to use wininst-6.exe or wininst-7.1.exe. Thomas, can you think of a way to fix this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1570417&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
