Hello,
I'm using cx_Freeze 4.2, for Python 2.7, on Windows 2000. I'm using a setup.py to drive cx_Freeze. I
did:
setup.py build bdist_msi
I noticed that unlike for Python 2.6, the generated MSI file doesn't have the
-win32 suffix.
I ran the MSI it created, to install my program. It installed into c:\Program Files\myprogname. But,
it also created a bunch of sub-directories:
Python2.0
Python2.1
Python2.2
...
Python2.8
Python2.9
Python3.0
Python3.1
Python3.2
...
Python3.8
Python3.9
Each subdirectory has a complete copy of the program--and appear to be redundant, making the
installation about 20 times bigger than it needs to be! Although the MSI file itself is only a
little bigger than that created by cx_Freeze under Python 2.6.
I assume this has something to do with this:
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/distutils/command/bdist_msi.py?view=log#rev72306
I'm guessing this is an unexpected side-effect of that change.
Regards,
Craig McQueen
