Given the way my machine here is locked down, I'm pretty sure I couldn't run the *.msi file. >There is sometimes a .zip file with an install.bat -- but that isn't >really intended for wide use. Is that what you are referring to here? That's what it is. They give you a choice of MSI or AS. The AS choice is a zip file that you unzip, then run the bat file on the top level. There's no indication that it's "not intended for wide use". -- Tim Slattery slatter...@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
