Seems like `--user-access-control=auto` option [1] introduced in Python 2.6 for to bdist_wininst has no effect on Vista. Test. 1. Get a Vista. 2. `hg clone http://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-wget/` 3. Add {{{ scripts=['wget.py'], }}} to setup.py 4. `python setup.py bdist_wininst --user-access-control=auto` 5. Execute wget-0.6.win32.exe 6. Watch the error {{{ Access is denied. CreateFile (C:\Python27\Scripts\wget.py) }}} 7. Python is always installed for "All users" on Vista [1] http://docs.python.org/distutils/builtdist.html#vista-user-access-control-uac
