[issue2271] msi installs to the incorrect location (C drive)
Andrew Dalke [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I also have this problem. (2.5 msi installer under Win2K with a non- admin account granted admin privs). Python installs just fine under C:\ (instead of C:\Python25) but then I run into problems installing the win32 extensions. Searching the web I found this posting from 2005 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005- September/341874.html That poster created an SF bug report which is now issue1298962. He linked to http://tinyurl.com/82dt2 which states: Windows Installler has no recognition of power users, so these users fall into the category of non admin when running an install. That describes exactly my situation. The solution is, apparently: To mark certain properties as safe for configuration, you can add them to the SecureCustomProperties list in the property table of the MSI file. which Martin reported here. Martin suggested using orca, but I have no idea of what that is (unix/mac dweeb that I am), and it doesn't exist on this machine. I know this is pretty much a me too report. I'm doing so to say that it has been an ongoing problem here at my client's site. They are not software developers here, and rather than trying to track down the right person with full admin rights to come to each person's desktop, they've been installing an old pre-msi version of Python. I would like to see this fixed before 2.6 is released. All I can do to help though is to test an installer, which I will do gladly. -- nosy: +dalke ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2271 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ben Beasley [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Apparent duplicates are at http://bugs.python.org/issue1298962 and http://bugs.python.org/issue1565468. This bug seems to have something to do with power user user privileges. I can duplicate this problem with the MSI installers for Python 2.4.4, 2.5.2, 2.6b1, and 3.0b1. According to some of the other issues, this problem has been around since 2005; I really, really would like to see it fixed by the final releases of 2.6 and 3.0, because, as Ross said, this bug can be a showstopper for many enterprise users who encounter it. (Or, at least, it forces us to find an administrator to install Python even though we theoretically have install privileges for it.) I've attached two logs from a Python 2.6b1 install on Windows XP, one for a just me installation and one for an all users installation. In both cases, I selected all options except for registering extensions. Since I did this on my work computer, I have search-and-replaced the values of LogonUser, UserSID, USERNAME, and COMPANYNAME to make them generic. Adding at least TARGETDIR to the SecureCustomProperties with Orca allows me to install where I want to. It may take some investigation to determine which properties should be added to this list and which don't need to be. I'd be happy to provide any more information that can help get this resolved. -- nosy: +music versions: +Python 2.4, Python 2.6, Python 3.0 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10902/msi_bug_logs.zip ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2271 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: using Orca, I modified the .msi file and python now appears to be working. I made the following change: Property - SecureCustomProperty Changed value from REMOVEOLDSNAPSHOT;REMOVEOLDVERSION to REMOVEOLDSNAPSHOT;REMOVEOLDVERSION;TARGETDIR;DLLDIR Running the modified .msi file resulted in Python being installed in C:\Python25 (the correct location). Currently, the installation appears to work properly. __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2271 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED]: When installing Python using any of the following stand-alone installers: python-2.5.2.amd64.msi python-2.5.1.amd64.msi python-2.5.2.msi all the files and folders are installed in C:\ instead of C:\Python25\ as specified in the installer. Creating C:\Python25\ before installation, changing the folder name, and rebooting the machine did not solve the problem. The installation is being performed on Windows Vista Enterprise 64 bit with an Intel Q6600 processor machine. -- components: Installation, Windows messages: 63455 nosy: rossmclendon severity: normal status: open title: msi installs to the incorrect location (C drive) type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2271 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
