I thought it would be prudent to install 3.1.1 for Windows from scratch,
so I uninstalled everything (CPython, ActivePython), and then installed
Python 3.1.1.
In the "Advanced" option I told the installer to compile packages.
The compiler then found a few syntax errors apparently in some text
conversion test programs, and finally a message box popped up saying
that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package",
Did you install it over an existing directory, that might contain modules
intended for a previous version, e.g. c:\python?
Even if you uninstall Python, the uninstaller removes *only* the files
*it* copied; everything else is left alone. This includes
modules/libraries/packages that you may have installed in the past.
Libraries written for any 2.x version are not compatible with the new 3.x
syntax; if any of those libraries exist in the directory where you install
3.1.1, you get an error like yours.
OK, I'll try again /without/ asking it to compile. I'm just reporting
this so that whoever needs to know knows (including maintainers and
people wanting to install this).
