Steve Dower added the comment: For a per-user install, the launcher does not go in C:\Windows (note that Python 3.4 does not really have per-users installs). The correct location for the ini file in every case is alongside the executable, and it must always be named "py.ini".
py.exe is put into C:\Windows because that directory will always be on PATH and has no 32-bit/64-bit redirection. The next best location would be a subdirectory of %CommonProgramFiles% and %CommonProgramFiles(x86)% and we'd probably need to install it twice. The access denied message you got was because %LocalAppData% is a directory. Try doing: > notepad %localappdata%\test.txt ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23633> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
