Your issue #2 is not a bug -- or at least it is the same as all other installers.<br><br>Every version of Python which you install will take over as the default "Open" command for .py files -- and will supply it's own icon for them. When you are trying out a new Python version, you must remember to re-install your chosen default version afterward, if you expect to double-click a .py and get a certain version of Python to start. The same thing happens with Python 3.1 and 2.7 for example. I use so many different versions that I have given up on the re-install trick. I now use a bunch of .bat files (in a directory on my search path) to pick the version I want.<br>
<br>For example, the file "py23.bat" contains:<br>c:\python23\python.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9<br><br>and "py31.bat" contains:<br>c:\python31\python.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9<br><br>and "ipy.bat" contains:<br>
"c:\program files\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9<br><br>The file "python.bat" points to my chosen default version for this week.<br><br>So to test"myTestScript" under IronPython 2.7, I type:<br>
ipy myTestScript.py arg1 arg2<br><br>The same little c:\utils directory also contains such handy tools as tail.exe, unix2dos.exe, less.exe, and 2to3.bat, which contains:<br>c:\python26\python.exe c:\python26\Tools\Scripts\2to3.py %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9<br>
<br>You get the picture... Those of us who's brains are stuck in console mode do this sort of thing.<br>--<br>Vernon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 6:44 AM, Adal Chiriliuc <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adal.chiriliuc@gmail.com">adal.chiriliuc@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Thanks for making available a new IronPython build. The 2.7 Beta 1<br>
installer has a few issues through:<br>
<br>
1. Changing the default installation folder doesn't work: IronPython<br>
will be installed in two places: "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython<br>
2.7" and the installation folder that you specified.<br>
<br>
2. If you have already have CPython installed, IronPython will<br>
overwrite the icon for .py files, but not for .pyc and .pyw files.<br>
Please don't replace the CPython icons or at least make this an<br>
installer option.<br>
