stuck = placed. I'm pretty sure I used an msi file. I've brought this topic up in 3 forums where I would have thought people knew the answer. Yours is the first answer. I would have guessed that anyone dealing libraries would have known the answer. Nor have I found anything in two Python books I've used. I think I'll look at them again. Google didn't even show anything.
Thanks for the response. I'll try to clear manually the locations we've mentioned.
