[pygame] BUG: Windows - Pygame 1.9.1 with Python 2.6.4 doesn't install correctly
I'm using the pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.6.msi installer with a fresh install of Python2.6. Pygame is not installed correctly, and creates C:\Lib and C:\Include directories. I can manually move these into my Python26 folder to fix this. I don't have an APPDATA environment variable set, perhaps this is being assumed to exist and as it is not set it is being installed in C:\? Tom

Also, which user did you install it under? cheers,

The user account I was using was not an administrator account on the system. It also turns out the APPDATA environment variable is set, I just can't see it in the Control Panel-System-Advanced-Environment variables list, but it is in the os.environ dictionary in python. Tom

I thought that .msi installers got round the issue of having to be an administrator to install things? Tom

This is the first I've heard of this problem... we pretty much use the default msi installer builder from python with a couple of extensions... so it should be working ok. Do you remember which user you installed python under? I can't find an msi related bug at bugs.python.org (only looked very quickly). Do you have PYTHONPATH set? Maybe it is set to or C:\ ? cheers,

one more question... are you on 32bit windows? On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 7:02 PM, René Dudfield ren...@gmail.com wrote: hi again, Thanks for your testing. I guess it'll be somewhere in the python msilib, or bdist_msi source... http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Lib/distutils/command/bdist_msi.py http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Lib/msilib/ I haven't got time to look into it now. cheers,
Re: [pygame] BUG: Windows - Pygame 1.9.1 with Python 2.6.4 doesn't install correctly
I guess another question would be, if it works for other packages? eg, does the numpy msi work for you ok? cheers, On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 7:03 PM, René Dudfield ren...@gmail.com wrote: one more question... are you on 32bit windows?

Maybe it is set to or C:\ ? cheers, Ok, I've reinstalled python, both using the administrator account and the unpriveleged user account. In both cases pygame doesn't install correctly as an unpriveleged user, but does using the administrator account. I don't have PYTHONPATH set. Tom

I guess another question would be, if it works for other packages? eg, does the numpy msi work for you ok? There only appears to be an amd64 numpy msi. I've had a look for other python packages that use msi's but haven't found any yet (I looked at wxpython, pyOpenGL, PIL and then gave up). FWIW the PIL installer works fine as an unpriveleged user.
