I installed python 2.5b3 on my windows XP sp2 box without any issues. I can double click the python program, and idle comes up in the command line window. However when I run python from the command line program cmd.exe, I get a pop-up window with the following error:
16 bit Windows Subsystem ----------------------------------------- The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:020c IP:0115 OP:0f 00 00 00 00 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. If I run python from the command line with the full path, C:\Python25\python, no problem. I checked my environment variables and they are pointing to the correct directories. I am at a loss for waht is causing the issue. Active state python 2.4 worked from the command line with no issues. I know 2.5b3 is beta, but I would like to try and get it running properly. At the very least, I would like someone to report this bug so that the final version gets fixed. Please don't say reboot. I have already tried that, same problem. I am going to try to install python 2.4 with the msi installer and see if I have the same issue with that version. If anyone else has any ideas please help.
