Summary: Error message - "Can't load Python for pre-install script"
Initial Comment:
Hi all -
I've downloaded and installed the Python 2.4 .msi
file for Windows (I'm running Win XP). That install
went fine, and I can run Python code at the usual
prompt (>>>).
The .msi file that I downloaded was -
python-2.4b2.msi .
I then downloaded the Python for Windows extensions
(the file was pywin32-203.win32-py2.4.exe ).
Double-clicked on that, and I got as far as "ready to
install". I then clicked the "next" button, and I got
the message "can't load Python for pre-install script".
This was weird, because at the start of things (when
I first double-clicked the .exe file), the .exe file
*did* find my Python install (in C:\Python24 ), so
goodness knows why it can't find Python later on .... :-)
I haven't changed anything from the defaults ....
the install of the .msi file was a full install, and I
changed nothing whatsoever.
