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.
That is not true. Python has always copied pythonxy.dll into the Windows directory if a "privileged" installation (previously called "administrator" installation) was performed.
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.
