I tried installing Python 2.6.4 into Program Files in Windows 7 and choose to compile .py files after install. Installer correctly asks for a elevation and copies all fixes but it looks like compile batch are being started from initial, unelevated context. (It displays access denied messages) The issues does not appear when starting installer from already elevated command prompt.

#6716 is a related issue, but isn't exactly a duplicate.

This will be difficult to fix. Contributions are welcome.

Just tried installing 2.6.6 on Windows 7 with compile checked and make default unchecked and did not observe any problems (although it did scroll by at high speed, and the windows didn't stay open for me to peruse). However, since we are no longer releasing binary installers for the 2.6 branch, can this be closed?

As a Windows user myself I'd say close it as it's been the better part of four years since there was a comment here.

Time between comments will never be a factor in closing bugs. If this isn't an issue with 2.7, then we can close it. I'm not near a Windows machine this week as I'm traveling, so I can't check it out for a while.

Well can someone at least drop the priority from high?

For 3.4, this was fixed as a side effect of fixing .

@Steve what is your take on this issue?

I'm not interested in fixing the 2.7 installer, but patches are welcome.
