| Distutils built installers will fail on Windows with a run-time exception of STATUS_INVALID_CRUNTIME_PARAMETER, error-code: C0000417 if the python installation directory (e.g. C:\Python27) is read-only for the user running the installer. I've experienced this with the pyside and pywin32 installers on Windows XP. Using procmon I discovered that the installer fails when it tries to create the installation log file in the python install directory. That led me to look at the directory which is when I discovered that it was read only for my user account. It's read-only because the Python installer was run as Administrator and the other installers are being run from my user account. Changing the directory to read-only for my account allows the installer to run without problem. Perhaps the installer could check for this and provide a friendlier response. | ||

| The distutils bdist_wininst command has been removed in Python 3.10: see bpo-42802. |
