That's right. No execution and no error. The installer finishes (quite quickly!) as if it did everything according to plan. Anything I can do to help you track down the problem? It's a Win XP system. Some of my environment vars that might be relevant: PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86 PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 1, GenuineIntel PROCESSOR_LEVEL=15 PROCESSOR_REVISION=0401 NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=2 HOME=c:\bax HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\baxter PYTHONPATH=c:\bax\code\python;f:\bax\code\python PYTHONSTARTUP=f:\bax\code\python\mystartup.py The default encoding of the machine is set to Japanese (CP931), but the langauge is English. That's about all I can think of that might be unusual. --bb _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
