After several attempts to install python2.4.1 on a win2k systems with doing all windows updates, we have been unable to install python2.4.1 on this system. We have attached an error logfile. The main thing that happens is that the install proceeds as normal but at some point the install decides that something has gone wrong and uninstalls itself. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Logged In: YES user_id=593130 Help questions should better be directed to comp.lang.python == python mailing list == gmane.comp.python.general. The answers you get should help determine whether there is a bug in the install file distributed by PSF that should be reported here. Given that the install appeared to go ok until it tried to remove the existing files, I wonder whether there is a process running in the background that is using the existing install. That issue has been discussed on the python group recently.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The log file appears to be manually truncated. Can you please provide the full log file? Are you by any chance running the MSI file from a SUBSTed drive?

Logged In: YES user_id=1273313 Yes, the logfile is indeed manually truncated. I could not upload the unmodified file which is greater than 2 Mbytes Any suggestions how I can get the log file to you. I was not using a SUBSTed drive. Python 2.4.1 installed fine on a similarly configured machine but can not get past this bug.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Please try to zip the logfile. If it is then still too large, please put it on some webserver under your control, and post the URL here. If you have no access to a webserver, please mail it to martin.vonloewis@hpi.uni-potsdam.de

Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 mmkobayashi, can you try the 2.4.2 package?

Can we close this? The OP didn't answer for almost three years... and the 2.4 to download is now 2.4.5...
