First question: Where did you download from? What file did you get? (First and a halfth question: When you say "won't install", exactly what do you mean? Error message? Hard drive exploded in a fiery inferno? Your boss tapped you on the shoulder and said "Kill that process"?) Secondly, do you have a tool for checking the MD5 hash of a file? Compare the file you have against the official checksum: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-340/ I'm slightly surprised the python.org installers have MD5s and not something more cryptographically secure; there are GPG signatures, but it takes a bit more fiddling to check those. Finally, take the simple approach: Re-download the file, straight from python.org, and see if it happens again. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
