Re: [Numpy-discussion] additional thanks
I think in Vista this is different from being logged into an administrator account (which I think is different from XP). I don't actually have a Vista machine to test on, but did help my students do it on theirs. No idea how their user accounts were set up. So, I think you have to right click and choose "Run as Administrator" regardless of what account you are logged into (I think, based on my limited Vista experience).

(Our classes start next week.) I did of course check that they were installing as Administrator, and they claimed "yes". I'll know more next week.

Re: [Numpy-discussion] additional thanks
I helped a coulpe of my students install on Vista. It was enough to right click on the exe and choose "Run as Administrator". A pop-up window then comes up asking you if you trust the file or something and you have to chose an option that is something like, "yes, let it proceed".

[Numpy-discussion] additional thanks
I know thanks have already been offered, but I hope one more on the list will be acceptable. I start classes next week, in Economics. It is easy to discourage some of my students, if the "getting started" part of new software is rough. The new compatible NumPy and SciPy binaries are VERY HELPFUL!!! Thanks! Alan Isaac PS Just a warning to others in my position: students using VISTA are reporting install difficulties for Python 2.5.1. It sounds like a fix is to proceed as at http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2006/06/installing_python_msi_on_windo.php> but as I do not have access to a VISTA machine I have not been able to test this. ___ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
