    windows installer problems

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Python on Windows 2000 Server using remote
    desktop. I log as a user that is in administrators group. Instalator
    starts, I select default installation directory, on the next screen
    with parts to install I click just next. Than blicks screen with
    progress bar but it is immediately replaced with screen informing that
    installation failed. But there's no information why or what is wrong.
    On remote connection I use 16 colors - can it be the problem?

    Thanks for any help

      Please try to do the same using Start Menu/Control Panel/AddRemoveProgra ms.
      Once I had the same problem and it turned out that when you start the
      Control Panel, the terminal goes into a different mode where you can
      install programs. Without that, you will not be able to add new
      programs. I'm not sure why.

          You can turn on logging when installing an MSI:
          http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePython/2.4/installnotes.html#install_logging


          The same instructions will work for the python.org MSI as well.

              Thanks for help, I tried to install ActivePerl and have the same
              problem so there's probably something wrong with the windows installer.
              Unfortunatelly I wasn't able to find out where is the problem from log
              file so I'll try to upgrade installer - the windows server installation
              is quite old and not updated. :-(
