I got the svn version, and "installed" from it into my Python2.5.1 - on Windows...
After reading this, I looked at the site-packages/django/contrib/admin directory -- it was missing the media and templates directories... I gave up, and svn'd into my Python area too (and all seems well now). Is there a problem w/ the install script I wonder?
