Hi, The new installer worked fine for me (WinXP1), but I wasn't sure if I could install over the old version and have it work properly / remove the old version from the 'Add / remove programs' list.
It suggested a default location on the C: drive but the old version was installed on the D: drive (and that's where I want it to be installed). When I pointed it to the old location it didn't complain about the old files, but didn't give me an indication either of going to do an update. So I got confused and uncertain. I decided to remove the old Python2.4 first, then reboot and reinstall. (Is reboot really needed?) And then afterwards it did complain about seeing files still in the D:\Python24 directory. Perhaps nicer if the installer could give feedback like 'Old installation found; will update to new version' or something like that. But that can be for 2.4.2 or a later time. cheers, --Tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
