Category: Installation Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Sergio Correia (sergiocorreia) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Unable to Install Python 2.4.1rc1 on windows XP SP2 Initial Comment: First of all, YES i had everything i needed to install, and yes i read the info on the site. When i tried to install python-2.4.1c1.msi (or even ActivePython-2.4.0-244-win32-ix86.msi), install "ended prematurely because of an error". I tried everything but, after a while i found a way to avoid the bug. I was installing from "F:\Docs\Varios\Sandbox".. i moved the msi file to C:\ and then the install (both, python and activepython) worked out perfectly. Folders were not shared, restricted, compressed or on a network (it was a normal local hard disk). Any ideas on why that happened? Thanks PS: Sorry about the sp. mistakes. I am not very fluent on technical english. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2005-03-27 22:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Unfortunately, I have still no clue what could be causing this problem. Message 1708 means "Installation operation failed.", message 2262 is "Stream does not exist: [2]. System error: [3]." Here, 2: is meant to be the stream name - but Installer does not try to use any stream name. I'm also confused that you say you are running from f:\Docs\Varios\Sandbox, yet the log file says that the package being installed is "C:\python-2.4.1c1.msi" (see the first lines of the log file); the value of OriginalDatabase is supposed to point to the file you have msiexec'ed. Since you have a work-around, I'll be closing this as "won't fix". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sergio Correia (sergiocorreia) Date: 2005-03-22 01:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1238520 I uploaded the file again, downloaded it and it worked. ^_^ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2005-03-22 01:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Can you please check that the file downloads correctly? I get a zipfile, but that only contains a garbage python.log (i.e. no text file). Perhaps you can try to attach it uncompressed? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sergio Correia (sergiocorreia) Date: 2005-03-15 07:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1238520 Thanks for the reply. So i uninstalled it, tried again from the "F:\Docs\Varios\Sandbox" folder, got the same error, and attached the log. Btw, F: is a physical drive, and its not SUBSTed. =) Oh, the last lines of the log were: === Logging stopped: 15/03/2005 00:54:23 === MSI (c) (24:A0) [00:54:23:153]: Note: 1: 1708 MSI (c) (24:A0) [00:54:23:153]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: - 2147287038 MSI (c) (24:A0) [00:54:23:153]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: - 2147287038 MSI (c) (24:A0) [00:54:23:153]: Product: Python 2.4.1c1 -- Installation failed.

Löwis (loewis) Date: 2005-03-14 22:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 No, but I know how to find out. Please run, in a cmd.exe window, msiexec /i python-2.4.1c1.msi /l*v python.log Compress python.log with Winzip, and attach the resulting file to this report. As a wild guess: could it be that F: is SUBSTed? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1162677&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
