I am a new Python user. I was experimenting with a variety of Python versions on Windows XP, e.g. 2.6.2, 3.0.1, ActiveState 2.6.2/3.0.1, etc.
I then also wanted to start using iPython, which I also installed on my Windows XP system. I am also an emacs user, so I was trying to get the Python pdb debugger to work with emacs, but I was having problems that seemed to point to having multiple Python versions on my system. So, I wanted to then "clean" my system up from all the Python versions. After removing all of my Python versions, I then tried to re-install just Python 2.6.2. However, I am now receiving an error message from the Windows MSI installer that says: "The system cannot open the device or file specified." And then a windowed message: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2755." Now I can't install any of the previous Python packages on my Windows laptop. I have tried researching this on the Internet, and it seems to indicate a Windows registry error point to an incomplete uninstall of an application, notably the previous Python versions that I had on my system. Does anyone know how I could clean up the registry so that I can successfully reinstall Python? Many thanks in advance, Marc
