RE: [Visualpython-users] Problem installing on WinXP SP2

[Dunning, R. B. <rdu...@bs...>]

Michael,

I've seen this before.  I assume you're installing to a Windows PC.  It alw=
ays happens when I forget to log on to my Windows machine as administrator.=
  Uninstall Python, log in as the administrator (for that machine), and try=
 it again.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Visualpython-users] Problem installing on WinXP SP2


I downloaded Python-2.4.1.msi and it installed fine into c:\python24
=20
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 Brows=
e
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 wher=
e
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 everythin=
g
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 i=
f
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 t=
o
install and run python.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank=20

Michael Snoswell
