I just tried to download and run the python2.5 0.6c11 setuptools and I
get a message that there is no record of python in the registry and the
install cannot proceed. Annoyingly there are two empty text boxes that
look like one might be able to type a path in but they are disabled.
This is on Windows 7 x64, I'm wondering if the binary is looking into
the 32 bit registry?
A 32-bit binary will be looking in the 32bit registry, as intended.
Assuming you don't have a 64bit Python 2.5, then your registry entries
should also be in the 32bit registry. If you have grabbed the 64bit
version of Python 2.5, then you are unlikely to find a corresponding
64bit installer for setuptools as making 64bit extensions with 2.5 was
incredibly painful - you might be better off looking at 2.6...
HTH,
