New submission from Redoute: Windows installers crash without useful explanation, when Python is located in /Program Files/Python27 and the installer is started without admin rights/UAC. I experienced this with Windows 8 and installers for packages pandas and rtree.
a) show error message instead of crash As I don't use distutils for packaging, I am just guessing it would make sense to: b) let bdist_wininst --user-access-control default to 'auto' ---------- assignee: eric.araujo components: Distutils messages: 176449 nosy: Redoute, eric.araujo, tarek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows installer doesn't use UAC, then crashes type: crash versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16561> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
