Category: installation Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Frank Niessink (fniessink) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Installation of pywin32-216.win32-py2.7.exe fails on Win7 Initial Comment: Hi, I have Python 2.7 (32 bits) installed on Windows 7. I downloaded the pywin32-216.win32-py2.7.exe installer and started it. The installer shows the first Wizard page (This wizard will install pywin32 ...). I click Next. The wizard says: "Python 2.7 is required for this package. Select installation to use:". It shows one installation: "Python Version 2.7 (found in registry)". I click Next. Wizard says it "Ready to install". I click Next. Wizard stops responding and Windows tells me "pywin32-216.win32-py2.7.exe stopped working. A problem occurred causing the program to stop working correctly." The only option is to close the program. Thanks, Frank ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Date: 2012-02-12 14:04 Message: The root bug is captured in http://bugs.python.org/issue13038 - I'll close this as there is nothing pywin32 can do about it (even though it definitely sucks!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Frank Niessink (fniessink) Date: 2012-02-12 06:14 Message: Hi Mark, Running the installer as administrator does indeed help and successfully installs pywin32. It would be nice if the installer gave a permission denied error message instead of crashing. Should I report a bug with the installer? Which one is it? Thanks, Frank ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Date: 2012-02-11 22:25 Message: I've seen this happen if the python directory isn't writable by the user installing pywin32 - is that possible? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=551954&aid=3486836&group_id=78018 |
