Jason: Thanks! That worked...in fact, almost everything is now working as expected (so far).
Here is my batch file: echo "Making changes to path and file associations..." path = %PATH%;%CD%Python24;%CD%Python24\libs;%CD%Python24\Scripts;%CD%Python24\Lib\site-packages;%CD%Python24\DLLs set PYTHONPATH=%CD%Python24 ASSOC .py=Python.File ASSOC .pyc=Python.CompiledFile ASSOC .pyo=Python.CompiledFile ASSOC .pyw=Python.NoConFile FTYPE Python.File=%CD%Python24\python.exe "%%1" %%* FTYPE Python.CompiledFile=%CD%Python24\python.exe "%%1" %%* FTYPE Python.NoConFile=%CD%Python24\pythonw.exe "%%1" %%* set PATHTEXT=.py;%PATHTEXT% CMD I'm still having a problem with setting PATHTEXT...I should be able to now type django-admin at the cmd prompt and have it work, but I need to still type django-admin.py ... I'm not sure what's wrong with my setting of pathtext. Any ideas? Thanks again, CJL -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
