Carwyn Edwards <car...@carwyn.com> added the comment: This prevents numerous packages from installing correctly including the current 0.6c11 version of setuptools. When the installer runs it reports that it can't find the version of python installed from python-2.6.4.amd64.msi.
It seems to be looking for it in: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.6\InstallPath] @="C:\\Python26\\" .. rather than the: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\InstallPath] @="C:\\Python26\\" .. that the python installer puts in the registry. This is related to the conversation in this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/distutils-...@python.org/msg10512.html And to quote from http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue2 : "The issue is with the .exe header used by the bdist_wininst command; setuptools doesn't generate this wrapper itself; it uses the one supplied by the distutils, so non-setuptools packages will have the same problem. Without a fixed .exe header in the Python installation, *all* bdist_wininst-generated .exe installers (setuptools or distutils) will have the same problem." ---------- nosy: +carwyn _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6792> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
