I saw the same behavior. I assumed that it was because I was installing a beta version atop an alpha version.
Uninstalling the alpha version and re-installing the beta version worked without a hitch. -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com [mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com] On Behalf Of Dino Viehland Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2010 8:14 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] Installing IronPython 2.7b1 over 2.7a1 Tony wrote: > Hi, > > Has anyone else had any issues with this?

Otherwise I can open a bug. I saw someone w/ this issue on twitter or stackoverflow or somewhere like that. Uninstalling A1 and installing B1 should work. Maybe "0709" is considered less than "1" due to the leading zero and we just need to be a little more careful in the future w/ the version numbers. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com This e-mail and any attachments are intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
