Re: Problems with Python 2.5 installer.
Could this happen if c:\python does not exists and creating it fails for some reason, or if permissions are incorrect? Are you installing it as a normal user or as an Administrator? I have occasionally had problems (not when installing Python) as a normal user not being allowed to create a folder at the C:\ level. I'd suggest this; (1) log on as as administrator (i.e. with full rights) (2) do an all users installation (3) You haven't come up with a good reason for doing otherwise, so read my lips: *** use the default installation folder C:\Python25 *** you'll be happy you did, when Python 2.6 comes out and you want to have both installed. It turns out the domain admin took away my local admin rights mistakenly. Once I got those back everything worked fine. The only 'logic' for my not installing to a directory with the version is that I don't keep more than one version of Python on my system at any given time. When the new version comes out and is stable I remove the old one, this forces me to check any programs against the latest version. Thanks for all of the help, Wayne -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The newline should have been \ , the keyboard I am using sucks and places the backslash below Enter vs. above like I am used to. I just didn't catch that when posting. I really don't know why I always change the directory, I've just always installed Python on MS Windows into C:\Python. No practical reason, I do the same with other programs. Google turned up nothing useful that I could find, is anyone else seeing this problem? There's been no mention that I've noticed. I'm thinking this is a local issue. I came in today and used the same MSI installer as before and there were no problems. I'm looking through the local logs to see if there has been any change on this system in the past day or two right now. Wayne -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Problems with Python 2.5 installer.
I have ran the MSI installer for Python 2.5 several times attempting to install to C: Python, however all of the files are placed in C:\ . The installer is told to only install files for me, beyond that I have only chosen the defaults. If I copy the files after installation, then uninstall Python, I can still use the application. However I am unable to install py2exe since it does not see Python in the registry, py2exe refuses to install when the Python files are in C:\ . The system in am installing on is WinXP SP 2 and I have enough admin rights on the machine to install software. Google turned up nothing useful that I could find, is anyone else seeing this problem? Thanks, Wayne -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
