I just downloaded and attempted to install python 2.6.2. The installer proceeds to do its work then dies, leaving an entry in the eventlog:
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Python 2.6.2. Product Version: 2.6.2150. Product Language: 1033. Installation success or error status: 1602. Googling for this I wasn't able to narrow the results down to something usable. Anyone know of issues and how to fix them installing on vista 64 (yes, I have 8 gigs of ram) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
