Steve Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I spotted the problem on Vista Home Premium SP1 32bit
As John indicates the problem with the 'all users' install is that it requires elevation to run as admin even if logged in as an administrator. That is rather non obvious (John suggests running cmd.exe as administrator which works fine). As most people doing it will be developers and have own machine it is not a big issue (assuming use py2exe, eggs etc. is used for end user setup ;-)) Oh I wonder if the same problem exists there? I ran into SxS problems on XP when building Python 2.5.? from source for use in Mozilla XULRunner and needed to use VC8 Express for both (so same CRT). I moved on so never fully resolved it apart from dropping copies of the CRT in various system folders. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4018> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
