Category: Installation Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Spider (m_webber_sydney) >Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: Install problem 2.4.1rc1 on Win98 Initial Comment: Python 2.4.1 Release Candidate 1. I installed (with all the defautl settings) python-2.4.1c1.msi on a Windows 98 machine. The shortcuts in the Start / Programs / Python 2.4 group includes a shortcut named "Python Manuals". This shortcut is inactive - does not point to anything valid, and clicking on it does not bring up the manuals. I assume that the shortcut should point to C:/Python24/Doc/Python24.chm which certainly exists on my machine and works ok if I access it directly. I guess the install builds the shortcut wrongly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2005-03-11 10:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Assigning to Martin. Martin, what kind of "shortcut" does the installer build now -- could it perhaps depend on an NTFS feature, like hard links? Why I ask: When I right-click on, e.g., "IDLE (Python GUI)" and select Properties in a 2.3 installation, I get "the expected" kind of window, with a Shortcut tab containing C:\Python23\pythonw.exe "C:\Python23\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw" in the Target box, which is an editable string. When I do the same with 2.4.1c1 (and don't know about 2.4 -- never tried this there), the Shortcut tab's Target box contains just Python 2.4.1c1 and that's greyed out -- can't edit it. The "Find Target .." and "Change Icon .." buttons are greyed out too. It _works_ for me anyway, but I'm on WinXP + NTFS here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1161187&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
