OK, I finally found a way to recreate this on my WinXP box. What I have to do is issue the command: setup.py install instead of: python setup.py install (However this directly contradicts a note earlier in this discussion where the poster says it is 'python setup.py install' that does not work, so ymmv.) I don't understand the difference, because I thought those two commands were equivalent. I checked the file type association for .py files and the action on open is defined as: "C:\bin\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %* (That's the only python installed on this box.) "Use DDE" is checked, "DDE Message" is empty, "Application" is python, "DDE Application Not Running" is empty, and "Topic" is System. Whatever that all means. Examining the output of the first command shows that 'install_data' part of the process doesn't seem to do anything: running install_scripts copying build\scripts-2.5\django-admin.py -> C:\bin\Python25\Scripts running install_data running install_egg_info Writing C:\bin\Python25\Lib\site-packages\Django-0.97_pre-py2.5.egg-info Whereas with the same command preceded by 'python', the 'install_data' step does work: running install_scripts copying build\scripts-2.5\django-admin.py -> c:\bin\Python25\Scripts running install_data creating c:\bin\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\conf\locale creating c:\bin\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\conf\locale\ar creating c:\bin\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\conf\locale\ar\LC_MESSAGES copying django\conf\locale\ar\LC_MESSAGES\django.mo -> c:\bin\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\conf\locale\ar\LC_MESSAGES [much more snipped, including creating/copying all the admin media and template files] Other than the 'install_data' difference, the output of the two different ways of invoking setup seems to be identical. I would be interested if others who have run into this problem can duplicate the different results of these commands. Also wondering if people who were missing templates and media files are also missing locale files?
