I'm just doing some housekeeping on a Windows install, and notice that the 'Publisher' of my Python 2.4 and 2.5 installs is shown as "Martin v. Lowis". Whilst I personally find this very reassuring I wonder if this is intended / ideal?
I certainly intended it: the field really is called the "author" file in MSI, and is (was) intended to indicate the "manufacturer" of the MSI, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367808(VS.85).aspx That Vista calls it "publisher" is somewhat ambiguous. In any case, bug #1737210 complained about it, and I changed it to "Python Software Foundation". I can't retroactively change it for the releases you are looking at.
No problem. I was more concerned about future releases.
All the best,
Michael Foord
