It all depends on context, none of which the OP has supplied, and how much weight one can attach to the position of "only" in his sentence. "only a msi installer for windows users" could mean "Python supplies only an msi installer [no exe installer, as was the case for earlier Python versions] for Windows users. This presents difficulties installing Python 2.5 on antique versions of Windows". If Tim's interpretation is correct, it would help greatly if the OP would say explicitly what his platform is and what his real problem is, instead of asking why a purported solution doesn't exist. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
