Hi,<BR>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Windows Installer Executables using distutils</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am able to create windows installer executable using 'python setup.py' on command prompt.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>using below code is written in 'setup.py'</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> from distutils.core import setup</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> setup(name='Test',<BR> description="Python Test",<BR> version='0.1',<BR> script_name = 'setup.py',<BR> script_args = ['bdist_wininst','--install-script=post.py'],<BR> scripts = ['Post.py'],<BR> data_files = getDATA())</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Following are the issues need to be resolved after installing windows installer 'Test.exe'</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1.It installs at default location and creates a folder 'Test' under 'C:\Python24'</DIV>
<DIV>Question: Could you please suggest me how to change the default location using above mentioned code or can specify location on UI in windows installer ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. When we double click on windows installer 'Test.exe' it shows UI</DIV>
<DIV>Question: Another requirement: Can we suppress the UI? I am looking 'how to launch the executable installers (e.g ctypes-1.0.1.win32-py2.4.exe) for the prerequisites silently – i.e., without user interaction'</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Could you please help me or send me direct e-mail ids regarding 'Distributing python modules' so that i can communicate accordingly?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
<DIV>PG</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV><BR>
