Hello guys,
Not sure if this is a Windows question or a Python problem...
I'm trying to install Python 2.6 from the msi, on Windows Vista as an
administrative user with UAC on. If I try to install for all users
then I am told I don't have privileges to do that... (No UAC prompt.)
The only other user on the machine is the standard guest account, so
it isn't an issue, I just wondered why this would be?

There is a "Vista note" in http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/
runas /user:Administra tor "msiexec /i <path>\<file>.m si"
Does that work for you ?

Heh. Well it would, except the administrator user doesn't have a
password (purely a VM) and this is unacceptable for runas. :-)

There is, unfortunately, no other way to install Python 2.6 on Vista.
So your choices are really:
1. activate the Administrator account
2. disable UAC
3. go back to XP
4. go back to Python 2.5

Martin

It installs fine for 'just me', so no problem. I was just curious as
to why I couldn't install it for all users. Even for a VM I should
probably set an admin password.
Thanks

It installs for 'just me', but it doesn't work. Just try starting
IDLE, or import the socket module.

The way I worked this was to run a command window as administrator and
then run the installer from the command line.

See bug 3296 (and its patch).
If the import produces a warning, Idle's improper use of the
format_warning and show_warning stuff turns the waning into an error.

Hi all,
Just a quick question... when I try to install Python on Windows Vista
Beta 2 the installer seems to hang after I select the destination
folder, saying that it will "return when it has finished calculating
disk space requirements". I just can't seem to get past that step. I've
also tried installing both 2.4.3 and 2.4.2 with no luck.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I'm having troubles installing NumPy on an AMD machine that runs 32-bit Vista.
During the install NumPy complains that it cannot find Python 2.5 in the registry.
Other packages have no problem finding the same, e.g. SciPy and matplotlib.
Anyone know a solution?
Thanks.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
