Jeff: You are right to close this bug -- I made a bad report based on an incorrect assumption. But I would not have been led astray if the error message had not been so obscure. It should SAY just exactly what you said: "elevation is required." IMHO the distutils error reporting should be improved. My question for you: Is IronPython distutils a special version (and we can fix it here) or straight from the Python Standard Library (and it must be fixed there)? Perhaps I can supply a patch, but I need to know where to send it. -- Vernon
