Category: Installation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: 2.5b1 windows won't install or admit failure Initial Comment: I downloaded the Windows 2.5b1, and then tried to install following all defaults. I had previously installed 2.5a2, and it is possible that I switched between "install for all users" and "install just for me". The install offered me a finish button, and no protest when I clicked it -- but after that, the shortcuts did not start python (nor did they protest; they just went into never neverland). Starting python at the command line did work. Reinstall with a repair did not fix anything. Uninstall, then uninstall 2.5a, then install on a "clean" system did work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.

Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-06-29 20:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I could not reproduce the problem. Can you please try to reproduce it, installing things in the order you did? Please provide all details, such as sequence of MSI invocations, options selected, reboots/logouts performed, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Date: 2006-06-27 17:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=764593 All versions are binary downloads for windows, from python.org I have a 2.4, which seems not to be relevant. I don't remember whether I had installed 2.5a1, though I think so. If I had, it was successfully overwritten by 2.5a2. I had definately installed 2.5a2. The problem came when I attempted to install 2.5b1 on top of 2.5a2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v.
