Category: Installation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: 2.5b1 windows won't install or admit failure Initial Comment: I downloaded the Windows 2.5b1, and then tried to install following all defaults. I had previously installed 2.5a2, and it is possible that I switched between "install for all users" and "install just for me". The install offered me a finish button, and no protest when I clicked it -- but after that, the shortcuts did not start python (nor did they protest; they just went into never neverland). Starting python at the command line did work. Reinstall with a repair did not fix anything. Uninstall, then uninstall 2.5a, then install on a "clean" system did work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Date: 2006-06-27 11:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=764593 All versions are binary downloads for windows, from python.org I have a 2.4, which seems not to be relevant. I don't remember whether I had installed 2.5a1, though I think so. If I had, it was successfully overwritten by 2.5a2. I had definately installed 2.5a2. The problem came when I attempted to install 2.5b1 on top of 2.5a2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v.
