Thanks! I'm having trouble with msi.py, so I'll better try python 2.6
The problem is with Pivy (openinventor bindings to python), it refuses to compile. It says: --------------------------------------------------------- ... error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed, you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py. --------------------------------------------------------- And because I've been compiling everything needed by pivy (Coin, Qt, SoQt, PyQt) with visual c++ 8, I decided to recompile python itself.
