| This appears to be an instance of the problem documented here: http://tinyurl.com/82dt2 aka: http://groups.google.nl/group/microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi/browse_thread/thread/2359de6cc83c3b2f/67ef84f8f0ba99db?lnk=st&q=%22Ignoring+disallowed+property%22+msi&rnum=4&hl=nl#67ef84f8f0ba99db I ran into problems installing as a 'power user' but not an admin on a windows XP box. The program was always installing in C:/ Running msiexec with logging revealed the following lines: MSI (s) (48:F8) [18:15:47:990]: Ignoring disallowed property X MSI (s) (48:F8) [18:15:47:990]: Ignoring disallowed property TARGETDIR MSI (s) (48:F8) [18:15:47:990]: Ignoring disallowed property DLLDIR MSI (s) (48:F8) [18:15:47:990]: Ignoring disallowed property USERNAME MSI (s) (48:F8) [18:15:47:990]: Ignoring disallowed property COMPANYNAME MSI (s) (48:F8) [18:15:47:990]: Ignoring disallowed property SOURCEDIR MSI (s) (48:F8) [18:15:47:990]: Ignoring disallowed property ROOTDRIVE Values were not being passed from the UI to the actual installation script. This is apparently a known issue which can be resolved by using SecureCustomProperties to pass them from the UI to the installer, as documented in the link above. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=597393 Yes, I forgot to mention that this means the installer always tries to put pythons root directory in your root C:\ directory, which is in any case messy, and in my case, a showstopper, as I need to install to another drive. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem. On my system, the power user can install to a different drive or directory just fine, and I get no message "Ignoring disallowed property". What operating system are you using? Can you please attach a compressed copy of the log? |

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 In additon, can you please provide the settings under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\ Windows\Installer and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\ Windows\Installer on your machine? If possible, can you try setting EnableUserControl to (DWORD)1 under the HKLM key? |

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Thanks. Unfortunately, this logfile appears to start too late. Can you please recreate it with msiexec /i python-2.4.x.msi /l*v python.log Are you being asked whether this is a per-user or per-machine install? If yes, what is your response? I'm still puzzled as to what is causing the problem here. |
