Hi, 

I want to install Python on my Windows 98se system, but although I followed the 
instructions carefully, it won't run. 

Here's a copy of the Web instructions I followed, from Python.org: 

"Starting with the Python 2.4 releases the Windows Python installer is being 
distributed as a Microsoft Installer (.msi) file. To use this, the Windows 
system must support Microsoft Installer 2.0. Just save the installer file 
python-2.4.msi to your local machine, then double-click python-2.4.msi to find 
out if your machine supports MSI. If it doesn't, you'll need to install 
Microsoft Installer first. Many other packages (such as Word and Office) also 
include MSI, so you may already have it on your system. If not, you can 
download it freely from Microsoft for Windows 95, 98 and Me" 

The installer I downloaded from Microsoft and ran is called InstMsiA.exe. That 
seemed to install fine, but the .msi file still won't run.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Andy
