Category: Distutils Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: J Livingston (jlivingston) >Assigned to: Thomas Heller (theller) Summary: wininst --install-script leaves residual files on C: Initial Comment: I'm running Python 2.3.4 and using distutils ( __revision__ of 1.58 2003/02/19) on WinXP SP2 to create a windows .exe installer. Both installation and removal of the package result in a residual file on the root of C: drive. This seems to be directly related to the use of the windows install-script which is provided with the --install-script switch. The residual file has a naming convention of sxxx where 'xxx' is any alphanumeric combination. There is never an extension on the file name. On installation, the residual file contains the same text the install-script prints in the install screen window. On removal, the residual file is empty (the install-script does not print anything when removing.) Users attempting to execute the installer from a network drive experience installer crash as they do not have file system permission to generate the residual file.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.
