Comment #22 on issue 539 by spielmann.robert: Problems with installation on
Windows 7

Sure.
* Running the installer that was created with Python 2.7 and distutils-2.7:
it shows both Python 2.6 and Python 2.7 as installed versions, and
installation as well as postinstall steps work fine. No error message.
* Running the installer that was created with Python 2.6 and
distutils-2.6.6 (*): it shows both Python 2.6 and Python 2.7 as installed
versions. Installing Robot for Python 2.6: all good. Installing Robot for
Python 2.7: all good as well.
I don't have Python 2.5 on my machine, so unless I find a 64bit windows
installer for that, I can unfortunately not test this.
(*) not the subtle difference here: the downloadable RF 2.5.3 installer was
created with distutils-2.6.5, so I think this gives another hint towards
distutils-2.6.5 being the problem that caused the issue.
