[Visualpython-users] Problem installing on WinXP SP2

[SNOSWELL, M. <mic...@ba...>]

I downloaded Python-2.4.1.msi and it installed fine into c:\python24
 
I downloaded VPython-Win-Py2.4-3.2.0.exe and when it installed I get a
dialog box saying "Could not locate where Python 2.4 is installed. You will
be asked where to install the Vpython extension."

I click ok and then I get a directory chooser. From here I type in or Browse
to c:\python24, or c:\vpython, or c:\python24\libs or
c:\python24\libs\vpython. Nomatter which of these I try, or if I make the
directory manually, I always get an error box saying "Could not locate where
Python 2.4 is installed. You will be aske where to install the Vpython
extension."

I click ok on this and I get the "Select Components" box. I leave everything
selected. I click Next. I leave "Create a desktop icon" selected. I click
next. I get the Ready to Install box with the summary of what'll be install.
The destination directory looks ok (whatever I specified it to be earlier).

I click the Install button and I get an error box "You must enter a folder
name." I click ok and the installation terminates.

I've tried setting PYTHONPATH env variable. I tried rebooting (to pick up if
python2.4 neede this). I had Python 2.2 previously installed and running
fine and 2.4 runs fine.

I am do NOT have administrator access on this machine but did not need it to
install and run python.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank
