I'm working in a corporate environment where user account control and corporate policies are used to restrict application installation privileges. As a consequence of this the PyWin32 installer fails when not being started from a command prompt with administrative privileges (right click and select "run as administrator" does not work). The installation failure is of course not PyWin32's fault, but it would help with a stronger indication of failure.
Observed behavior after copying & compiling of files have completed: --- Postinstall script finished. Click the Finish button to exit the Setup wizard. --- close failed in file object destructor: sys.excepthook is missing lost sys.stderr --- Several of my colleagues failed to notice the subtle error message, and believed that the installer succeeded. This led way to many problems with PyWin32 not working later on. Could it be possible to somehow give a clearer user notification on installer failure? Thanks in advance Fredrik
