The easiest solution would be to write one .bat for 32bit and one > for 64bit. You could also do something like (untested, but I've used similar in the Doc/make.bat script): if DEFINED ProgramFiles(x86) set 64bitext=.amd64 set PYTHONDIR=%ProgramFiles%\Python27 set PYTHONMSI=python-2.7.3%64bitext%.msi msiexec /i %PYTHONMSI% TARGETDIR="%PYTHONDIR%" /qb That's for 64-bit Python on 64-bit Windows, 32-bit Python on 32-bit Windows. Or: if DEFINED ProgramFiles(x86) set PgrmFls=%ProgramFiles(x86)% if NOT DEFINED ProgramFiles(x86) set PgrmFls=%ProgramFiles% set PYTHONDIR=%PgrmFls%\Python27 msiexec /i python-2.7.3.msi TARGETDIR="%PYTHONDIR%" /qb for 32-bit Python on either platform. -- Zach -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
