[Klepach, Joseph]
The python 2.4a1 release using the msi installer insists on copying python24.dll to the C:\WINNT\system32 directory instead the of requested user directory.
This did not occur in the past and is causing a problem because my company locks the c:\winnt directory on all user pc's. ... Will this functionality be part of the official release?

Yes. Chose a per-user installation if you don't want to install Python into the system directory.
Ah, OK, you're saying this is already available ... and it is. Joseph, when you run the .msi thingie, click the Advanced button in the second screen. Then there's a radio button controlling whether to install for all users, or just the current user. I selected the latter, and python24.dll was installed under my Python24 directory instead of under a system directory.
