[issue14458] Non-admin installation fails
Mark Mikofski added the comment: Anyone still following this issue, as I posted in issue22516, there is an embeddable zipped version of Python-2.7.X built from source using the PCbuild batch files and vc90 toolset for both x86 and x64 called Python Bootstrap: http://breakingbytes.alwaysdata.net/PythonBootstrap/ The redistributable msvcr90.dll's are all bundled side-by-side privately with python27.dll as recommended by Windows and does not violate any licensing eulas. The build passes all tests and pythonw.exe works perfectly. Try starting python27/Scripts/idle.bat. It ... just ... works ... No ... Admin ... rights ... required ... just ... unzip ... use ... FYI: doing an administrative install using msiexec /a (https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4/msi/) just extracts the msi archive and creates a smaller msi package used to do a local install later. This means that your python launcher and shared library are depending on whatever redistributables you have. You can't install the merge modules into winsxs w/o elevated rights so ... Also look at Python-3.5 for an embeddable zip file (no admin rights required) altho I think it requires vcredist for vc100 freely available from microsoft. -- nosy: +bwanamarko ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14458 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Timothy Madden terminato...@gmail.com added the comment: The command also worked for me on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but pythonw does not start, and I could not check if everything in CLI python.exe works as expected. As you said, something is not right with it, and it also installs just too fast for a real installation. It did get my python installed, though.

Cesar Mello cme...@gmail.com added the comment: Just as a note: the following command line with /q instead of /qb works without the need for elevation: msiexec /q /i python-2.7.3.amd64.msi MSIFASTINSTALL=7 TARGETDIR=C:\Users\Mello\Python27 And it is pretty fast! This was on a Windows 7 machine. But if I install in a clean Windows XP, I can't get it to work. It seems something is not right with the CRT using this command line. -- nosy: +Cesar.Mello ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14458 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from Timothy Madden terminato...@gmail.com: Trying to install the release package (python 3.2.2 x86-64 .msi, 2.7.2 x86-64 .msi) without elevation fails, even if 'Install just for me' is selected in the installer options, and I have write permissions in the selected install folder. Under the same account and conditions, other installers (Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird, git, Beaver Debugger...) can install successfully.
