Jason R. Coombs jar...@jaraco.com added the comment: That's great. Thanks Martin! What about Python 2.6? If the fix is hard to port back to 2.6, perhaps bdist_msi should raise an Unsupported error in 64-bit Python. Let me know if I can help any further. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6258 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Tarek Ziadé ziade.ta...@gmail.com added the comment: No that's fine Jason, I was about to do it ;) I can work on the patch and commit it since it's distutils-related, but Martin is the one that will validate it and give the green light on msi matters. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6258 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue6258] distributions built with bdist_msi on 64-bit Windows fail to install correctly
New submission from Jason R. Coombs jar...@jaraco.com: It appears as if bdist_msi isn't properly tagging 64-bit binary builds. When launching an .msi built by Python 2.6.2 using bdist_msi, such as numpy found here (https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369package_id=175103), it improperly detects the location of Python (which it gets from the registry). If the 32-bit Python 2.6 is also installed, it finds that version. If 32-bit Python 2.6 is not installed, it fails to find the Python installation. Even if the proper 64-bit Python 2.6 location is selected, the files are not installed to the Python 2.6 site-packages. Furthermore, the registry Uninstall information is stored in the Wow6432Node. bdist_wininst executables appear to detect 64-bit Python and install correctly. I will attempt to recreate this problem with a minimal project and clean 64-bit Vista or Windows 7 machine at a later date. -- assignee: tarek components: Distutils messages: 89221 nosy: jaraco, tarek severity: normal status: open title: distributions built with bdist_msi on 64-bit Windows fail to install correctly versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6258 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Jason R. Coombs jar...@jaraco.com added the comment: Indeed, I confirmed that using the simple example from the distutils manual (http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html#a-simple-example) on a clean install of Python 2.6.2, bdist_msi exhibits the behavior previously described. I suspect that the TargetPlatform property needs to be set (based on what I read here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cd7a85k9(VS.80).aspx ). -- title: distributions built with bdist_msi on 64-bit Windows fail to install correctly - distributions built with bdist_msi on 64-bit Windows fail to install correctly ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6258 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Jason R. Coombs jar...@jaraco.com added the comment: Based on the MSDN article and what I read in a blog entry (http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2005/10/24/windows-installer-on-64-bit-platforms.aspx), I thought that the enclosed patch might work around the issue... and while it does set the template property to x64, the undesirable behavior persists.
