| When I click install -> run, it tells me a DLL is missing and to contact my vendor (Windows 7 Home Premium). This is the only installation that does this. I cannot find an answer anywhere and all other installations work fine. What could be causing this? Which DLL is specific only to this installation that Microsoft does not have an answer to? Thank you. |

| Exactly which installer are you trying to run and where did you download it from? |

| http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.5/python-2.7.5.msi That is the URL I downloaded from and the installer. Thank you, Dale On 7/4/2013 4:17 PM, R. David Murray wrote: > R.

| Was that all the correct information? Do you need more... i.e. about my computer etc? On 7/4/2013 4:17 PM, R. David Murray wrote: > R.

| When responding by email, *please* delete the quote, except perhaps for a line or two if really needed. The email signature is *never* needed and *always* noise. I install on Windows with no problem. I presume you too see 'Install' by right-clicking on the .msi file in Explorer or elsewhere. Does the message tell you *what* .dll is missing? I suspect that it is one of the Windows dlls that are needed for msi installs and not included in the .msi. |

| I do see install and it tries to install. When I click "run" and go to the install menu, I select for "All users" and next and the generic "a dll is missing" message pops up. I'll explore this more. I do not have problems installing anything else. Thank you! |

| I tried everything that is available to "repair" my Windows 7 installer (unregistered/restarted the service etc). Everything installs fine except this installer. |

| Thank you for the snips. Have you installed other applications that use a .msi installer (many do not). Have you tried another Python installer? For instance, change .5 to .3 in your link. Are you using a 64-bit installer on 32-bit Windows? It seems not as the link you gave *is* to the (default) 32-bit version. I searched the 2.7 repository for "dll is missing". No hits. So if you quoted accurately, that too-generic text is not coming from Python. Martin, any ideas on this install problem? |

| I do not know when but there is a version that seems to be installed. It's in my programs folder. I opened the python shell and it says it is Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 It still does not explain the dll error message. I do assume its windows (of course). |

| Please open a cmd.exe shell, change to the directory containing the MSI file, and run msiexec /i python-2.7.5.msi /l*v python.log Then attach the resulting python.log file. If it is too large, compress it to a zip file. |

| You will have to wait until Martin can respond, but the log says failure occurred with C:\Users\astar\AppData\Local\Temp\MSIA812.tmp entry: _CheckDir@4 Description from web: Driver Install Frameworks for Applications library module This appears to part of the unpacked download. Have you redownloaded? |

| I'm pretty sure the problem is the one reported in http://superuser.com/questions/478631/dll-could-not-be-run-for-msi-installers The solution/work-around is to give full access to Everyone in the Temp folder. Please report whether this works. |

| I got it! None of these alone actually worked. But it lead me to get it to work. I did several solutions at once. The three in combination that worked were getting this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista <http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/> then I disabled my antivirus and User Account Control in windows 7. I'll bet it was just disabling the UAC that did it though. I will find out later. I need to get back to class now that I have what I need. Thank you so much. If you do need more info or help, please feel free to ask! <http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/> |
