I'm trying to do a non-admin install of python 2.4.1 using the msi on win xp pro. Our environment is pretty customized; in an ordinary explorer window I see drives I, J but no C. "My Documents" refers to i:\ which is an alias for \\\\username. I'm installing to i:\\python241 for my user only. The server has enough diskspace and my diskspace is not limited. When I try to install, bug #1232947 occurs; but when I try to do the same install with a usb-stick attached (which appears as volume "e:"), the installer complains that E has insufficient disk space. In fact, this was true: but I was not installing on E but on I. The disk usage button by the way shows enough diskspace on I: and does not list E:

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Can you please create a log file of the installation, through msiexec /i python-2.4.x.msi /l*v python.log Please then zip the log file, and attach it to this report.

Will close as won't fix/lack of response unless someone wants this open.

Closing on lack of response, uncommon use case.
