Given that the links in Gerald's examples were under Program Files, I had assumed that HP were tweaking the installer at least that much...

But wouldn't that leave us in the situation where Python's installer is not "OEM Ready", nor has it been certified as such - but an installer based on ours, but with unspecified changes has?

Of course, I don't object to that and still think we should help where we can, but if that is true it would make the premise of this thread a little misleading, as obviously HP could then make any necessary changes without our agreement or even knowledge.

Cheers,

Mark
