New submission from Armando Rowe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The windows installer for Python 2.6 offers to install on c:\python26\ - If you chose to install on c:\python\ instead, the installation will run through and terminate succesfully, but whenever you try executing any python program, an error message tells you that mvscr90.dll is missing.
It turns out the installer does properly install the dll in a subfolder of c:\windows\winsxs. If you remove python, then install on c:\python26\, it will work just fine. Event occurred on a Dell latitude D620 laptop with 2 GB RAM and a 2 GHz intel core duo, with Windows XP professional Service Pack 3. No python packages were installed. ---------- components: Build messages: 74209 nosy: armandorowe severity: normal status: open title: 2.6 dependent on c:\python26\ on windows type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4022> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
