Category: Installation Group: Python 2.5 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Paul Moore (pmoore) Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: Error with 2.5a1 MSI installer Initial Comment: Installing 2.5a1 on Windows XP Pro SP2. I changed the install directory to D:\Apps\Python25, and selected "compile all modules" from the advanced options screen. Everything else is as standard. The install stopped with a message "There is a problem with ths Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." This was right after the compile of all modules. There's plenty of free disk space on the machine. Rerunning without the "compile all modules" selection worked fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.

In both cases, it's an installer trying to run a Python script. I did a *very* quick test, and running scripts from the command line does work OK... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1465093&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
