Re: [Distutils] [Bug] Failed installation. setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.6.exe
Hi Rune, I had a similar issue on Windows Server 2008 R2. You are probably running Win 7 (64bit). I ran procmon, and found out that the installer is looking for the keys under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore so I modified the register.py discussed above to write to HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, which solved the issue.

Sounds like maybe there's a problem with either the distutils or the Windows Python installer, since either the bdist_wininst isn't checking in the right place, or the Windows Python installer isn't registering in the right place. (i.e., this would be an issue with *any* Python .exe-based installer on these platforms.) ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig

(i.e., this would be an issue with *any* Python .exe-based installer on these platforms.) To make it more specific, my configuration is 64bit Python on 64bit OS. Therefore it registers under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore The installer is 32bit, so my OS shows it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore when it requests HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore The way to handle this would be either to get Python to register under both registry locations when installed on 64bit Windows (thus making itself visible to 32bit installers), or to make 64bit installers for the 64bit platform (so the OS would not try to trick them and push the wrong key). None of those sounds terribly complicated. Best regards, Andrey ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig

Normally your python will be again registered no matter what may have it made
not be registered anymore.

Hi,
setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.6.exe will not install on Win 7 with python 2.6.4
installed.
Dialog says: Python version 2.6 is required, which was not found in the
registry
