Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Installation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Michael Lucas (michael_lucas) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Install on Windows Vista locks up Initial Comment: I have had problems trying to install this version on Vista. When the install gets to the verifying disk space requirements the system locks up. It does not go any further. I have to cancel the instalation of python. The only way I have got around this is to install an older version of python (version 2.3.5) this version does work, but there are newer versions that I want to work with on my system. If anyone has a work around for this please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Pat Lathem (plathem) Date: 2006-07-07 01:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=661716 FWIW, this can be worked around by using the command-line MSI installer: msiexec /i python-2.4.3.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Python24" ALLUSERS=1 /qb Found that here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-June/347402.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-06-29 18:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I can confirm the problem, but I doubt I can do much about it. In fact, I believe this is a bug in Vista/Windows Installer 4.0. The installer GUI waits for the CostingComplete property to be set, but this never happens. If you are a beta tester, please make a bug report to Microsoft. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1512604&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
