[Numpy-discussion] Unable to install numpy-1.3.0 on WinXP (without Administrative rights)
Hi, I'm trying to install numpy on a WinXP system, on which I have no administrative rights. Installation of Python-2.6 went OK, but the windows installer that I downloaded on sourceforge for numpy (numpy-1.3.0-win32 -superpack-python2.6.exe) gives me an error pop-up window Executing numpy installer failed. And when I ask the installer for the details, here's the displayed log : Output folder: C:\Windows\Temp Install dir for actual installers is C:\DOCUME~1\user1\LOCALS~1\Temp Target CPU handles SSE2 Target CPU handles SSE3 native install (arch value: native) Install SSE 3 Extract: *numpy*-1.3.0-sse3.exe... 100% Execute: C:\Windows\Temp\*numpy*-1.3.0-sse3.exe Completed And of course then, typing import numpy in a python shell will just give ImportError: No module named numpy. Seems I'm not the only one that encountered the problem ( see http://old.nabble.com/Failed-installation-on-Windows-XP-td26316987.html#a26316987). I'm wondering if this is known and/or fixed issue (my search on the mailing-list and tickets archives has been fruitless, but I might have not looked at the right places), and if so, what can I do to solve it ?

I think it is not possible to install NumPy for python 2.6 if you don't have admin priviledges. I believe the root of the problem is the lack of a right C runtime, and there is no easy way to install it without admin priviledges, and I have no idea how to fix this. The problem is specific to python 2.6 (more exactly because it was built with visual studio 2008), so using python 2.5 or 2.4 should not cause any issue if that's an option for you. The other solution is to ask your administrator to install the redistributable runtime from VS 2008, cheers, David ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion

From numpy-1.3.0-sse3.exe copy PLATLIB\numpy\* to C:\Python26\sitepackages\numpy\ and SCRIPTS\* to C:\Python26\Scripts\. Unlike many other packages, Numpy does not need to have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package installed to work. To avoid the problem, numpy-1.3.0-sse3.exe could probably be linked statically to MSVCRT9 like the bdist_wininst installers created by Python distutils.

Christoph Hi David and Christoph, Thank you both very much for your suggestions. I went for Christoph's workaround (manual installation) and it seems to work like a charm. Thanks again.
