I'm just doing some housekeeping on a Windows install, and notice that
the 'Publisher' of my Python 2.4 and 2.5 installs is shown as "Martin v.

is intended / ideal?
I certainly intended it: the field really is called the "author" file in
MSI, and is (was) intended to indicate the "manufacturer" of the MSI,

That Vista calls it "publisher" is somewhat ambiguous.
In any case, bug #1737210 complained about it, and I changed it to
"Python Software Foundation". I can't retroactively change it for the
releases you are looking at.
No problem. I was more concerned about future releases.
All the best,
Michael Foord
