No consolation, I'm sure, but I recently installed exactly the same version on my XP desktop (SP2, in case it matters) without problems. Have you tried ActiveState? They're only on 2.4.1, but unless you're after a particular bugfix I doubt it'll matter. At least it's a different packaging. http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython/ TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
