[issue16727] Windows installers for 2.7.3 don't install python27.dll correctly
New submission from Keith Sabine: The windows installers for Python 2.7.3 do not install the required python27.dll correctly. The Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.7.3) does not install a 32 bit python27.dll in windows\system32 at all. The Windows x86-64 MSI Installer (2.7.3) installs a 64 bit python27.dll in windows\system32, NOT in windows\SysWOW64 as it should. The python27.dll should be kept in the python DLLs directory for both 32 and 64 bit versions, so users can clean up the mess if they need to... -- components: Windows messages: 177736 nosy: keith969 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows installers for 2.7.3 don't install python27.dll correctly versions: Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue16727> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Keith Sabine added the comment: Well all I can say is having installed BOTH the 32 and 64 bit versions, I found I only had the 32 bit dll installed. I can raise a second issue for the request to put a copy of the dll in the DLL directory, so that it's easier to locate the correct dll if needed to ship with an embedded python application. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue16727> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
