Hi, python community, Recently there was a huge number of e-mail stating that the python installer does not work.
When asked about it, people reveal that they wee using Windows and they were getting errors about missing DLL. I know for a fact that in the InstallShield it is possible to detect the OS you are trying to install on. So, here is my request: if its not possible to include the DLL in question in the installer, can the installer check for the OS version and ask the user to go to Microsoft.com, download and install the library? It looks like people don't want to use their common sense and just wanted to waste everybody's time by asking what went wrong instead of just download the dll executable from MS site and install it. Can something like this be done to eliminate those questions in the future and let people concentrate on the real python issues? Thank you. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
