is there a reason why msiexec iterates through what looks like all (?) files and directories in/under the destination directory? There is massive file I/O going on there (OK, by now you know I didn't de-install 2.4 before trying ;-)) which explains the 100% CPU usage and the time it takes for the Next button to respond.
I think it is trying to estimate disk usage. To compute the disk usage correctly, you need to find out - what files are new files - what files are going to be deleted - what files are goging to be replaced - what files are going to stay
Ah! Thanks for explaining. So this also explains why the indicated required disk space on the Customize dialog with the "Python" item selected was a mere 673kb (or was it 637kb - don't recall exactly) - this must the size difference between 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 then...
