Installing 2.5a1 on Windows XP Pro SP2. I changed the install directory to D:\Apps\Python25, and selected "compile all modules" from the advanced options screen. Everything else is as standard. The install stopped with a message "There is a problem with ths Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." This was right after the compile of all modules. There's plenty of free disk space on the machine. Rerunning without the "compile all modules" selection worked fine.

Logged In: YES user_id=113328 Another data point - the pywin32 binary installer for 2.5 also fails, with an error saying that the preinstall script couldn't run. In both cases, it's an installer trying to run a Python script. I did a very quick test, and running scripts from the command line does work OK...
