The following patch works with the Trac installer, but I don't know if it will break support for other installers: Index: setuptools/command/easy_install.py === --- setuptools/command/easy_install.py (revision 51920) +++ setuptools/command/easy_install.py (working copy) @@ -1249,7 +1249,7 @@ if tag not in (0x1234567A, 0x1234567B): return None # not a valid tag -f.seek(prepended-(12+cfglen+bmlen)) +f.seek(prepended-(12+cfglen)) I can't see how bdist_wininst for Python 2.3 or better can generate a file that's missing the 'bmlen' value or has garbage in it. bmlen corresponds to the 'bitmaplen' value generated by the bdist_wininst command, and it should be a zero if there was no custom bitmap added. In other words, the .exe you're having problems with doesn't seem like it could've been produced by an unmodified distutils bdist_wininst command, as I've checked the SVN logs for that module and it's been 5 years since bdist_wininst had the 'bitmaplen' value added. ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig

Well, that would make sense since the bdist_wininst command writes the bitmap *before* the config, not after as easy_install assumes. So, easy_install is seeking to the beginning of the bitmap as shown by the data here: f.seek(prepended-(12+cfglen+bmlen)) f.read(5) 'BM.\x9c\x00' D'oh! I guess we're looking at having to release an *0.6c4* now. [sigh] Oh well, there was still the SF downloads issue to fix anyway. :( ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
