Installing new Version fails on some condition

Hi,

i have a setup project, wich is configured so that new versions will
automatically uninstall in older version. It all works fine, but
the installation fails, if the user selects another application directory
than for
the existing version.
Gives twice a message that a part of a directory is missing. Then everything
is rolled back.
Maybe the problem is linked with an installer class i use in my project.

Any solution to this problem? Is it a known bug?

When the installation is (almost) complete. Even the installer class seems
to have run
succesfull (for both unsinstalling the old and installing the new version),
but then the messages
pop up and all is rolled back.

The messages are similar to (it's translated back to english):
Couldn't find part of path: <new application path>\<appname> .InstallState.
Couldn't find part of path: <old application path>\<appname> .InstallState.

What kind of action does your installer class?
It copies a link to other userprofiles.

PS: manually uninstalling and installing works all fine, also installing
over an old version
works if the applicationpath is the same

Folks, I am trying to build the binaries for Python 2.4.3 on a Sun E6900 running SPARC Solaris 9 and using gcc 3.4.2. When the makefile tries to build the _curses extension it fails with a symbol referencing error on "mvwgetnstr", which it appears should exist in libcurses.so. For some reason it seems this function does not exist in the version of libcurses.so shipped with Solaris 9.
