New submission from Eric Devolder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: This error happens when opting in for compiling the scripts at installation. (please note also that I did not selected "register extension", but I don't think this has an impact).
Here is the text from event viewer: Product: Python 3.0rc3 -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action CompilePyc, location: L:\Python30\python.exe, command: -Wi "L:\Python30\Lib\compileall.py" -f -x bad_coding|badsyntax|site-packages|py2_ "L:\Python30\Lib" Running the command manually indeed crashes, because of pipe symbol being interpretted at shell level, not Python. Please find attached a patch on Tools\msi\msi.py that addresses the problem (untested, I don't have VStudio ) ---------- components: Installation files: compileall_py.patch keywords: patch messages: 76318 nosy: keldonin severity: normal status: open title: Windows Installer Error 1722 when opting for compilation at install time versions: Python 3.0 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12119/compileall_py.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4407> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
