I'm very concerned by this bugreport:

http://www.python.org/sf/1022010 My windows box has a dodgy RAID card, so I can't check it myself, but the -n -e is definately in Tools/msi/msi.py. I have no ideas whether they're meant to be - the msi stuff is a complete unknown to me. Martin?

I think the bug report got it right: due to copy-'n-paste error, the associations for .py (etc) files were mistakely given IDLE-specific arguments. So they don't work. Everyone on c.l.py who noticed this (the bug report isn't unique) quickly figured out how to fix it themself (by editing the file assocations created on their box to get rid of the inappropriate arguments).

Presumably Martin can fix that by building a new MSI installer after repairing the MSI setup. If he does that before doing a cvs up, it's "just" a matter of cutting a new Windows installer.
