I had some strange experiences. Windows2000: I downloaded the 2.4.1c1 installer to the desktop and clicked on it. It complained that it couldn't access the installer. I then clicked on the 2.4.1b2 installer and that started ok. Cancelled it. Repeated this sequence a second time. Same. The third time I clicked on 2.4.1c1 it started up and installed Python ok. For ducks I installed Python at D:\"Python 2.4". It installed in the correct location, also found C:\Python24 and uninstalled that. Python and IDLE appear to run ok. Shortcuts on Run work, and file association was updated, so right clicking a .py used IDLE from Python 2.4.1c1, in no-subprocess mode. -- KBK _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
