Hi,
why does the Python installer on Windows put the Python DLL into the
Windows system32 folder? Wouldn't it be more clean to place it into
the Python installation folder beside the python.exe file?
Kind regards,
Markus

Yes.
If you choose "install just for me" it doesn't.

Interesting. Therefore you asked me if I am sure :) Does this mean,
that COM stuff does not work when installing Python "just for me"?

Indeed, pywin32 stops working :( I installed Python "just for me",
then I installed pywin32-210, and now Pythonwin.exe is not able to
start. So for this scenario it seems to be necessary, that the Python
DLL is installed into the system32 folder.
Maybe the Python installer should issue a warning that pywin32 will
not be able to work when using the option "just for me"?
Kind regards,
Markus

That is not supposed to happen; pywin32 should work. Just COM servers
written in Python may not.

Ok, my mistake. I was launching Pythonwin.exe by double clicking on
the executable, which works when Python is installed "for all users"
and does not work when installed "just for me". When Pythonwin is
launched by clicking on the shortcut in the start menu, which sets the
CWD to the Python installation folder, it works also when Python is
installed "just for me".

Hello, I have tried to install python 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 with the same
error. The installer starts fine, but when it gets to the part that
says "Status: Copying new files" it terminates with an error code of

Does anyone have a clue to what to do?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
I can't seem to get python to run my scripts using the command: python
<userscript>.py
If I type python the interpreter runs as I sorted out the Path property,
I'm afraid I don't know much about this kind of thing as I'm a science
student who needs some Python not a programmer!

I've tried downloading and installing the MS Windows Python

The only possible clue I have is that the installation process

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
