The installation is nonfunctioning if I try and run it (i.e. pythonw.exe) at this point. The user is an administrator, I can't think of any reason why the program would be administratively denied access to the registry.

If I check the permissions in my registy for Python24, SYSTEM has full control, but administrator has only READ (my keys for Python23 had full control for administrator). The failure ought to be caught and a meaningful message displayed, or possibly the post install script has to run as SYSTEM, although that sounds wrong As a workround, I changed the permissions on the registry key at the Python24 level (apply to all subkeys) and ran the script again, all fixed up now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kim Davies (kjd) Date: 2005-01-03 01:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=168657 I note there is a comment in pywin32_postinstall.py that probably explains it, and I just put an exception handler around it, and it installed okay (presumably missing some help functionality..)
