What weirdness are you seeing, out of curiosity? Everything looks OK here on a 'real' XP installation.

My old XP (SP3) laptop has volunteered for the task. I've upgraded it today to Python 2.6 + wxPython 2.8.9.1 (ansi) + Pythoncard 0.8.2, using the SF downloads for the latter two. This laptop is getting on a bit, so I won't spot any issues if they're specific to the XP theme or any eye candy because they're all switched off.

Everything seems to work at first glance....except the PythonCard MSI installer. It keeps crapping out at the post-install stage so I don't have any start menu items. Checking the mailing list, this happened a few years ago to people trying to use the 0.8.1 installer (built with Python 2.3) on 2.4 systems. Maybe it's the same issue again?
