Thank you everyone for all the work that went into this update, but there may be<br>
a small problem with the Windows x86 installer.<br>
<br>
I've built and used python 2.6.5 on linux without any apparent problems, but the<br>
Windows x86 binary installer stops after compiling a few python source files.<br>
<br>
I've tried the Windows x86 installer on two differently configured Windows XP<br>
PCs (SP3 with patches), but I get the following errors during the advanced<br>
compiling of python source files:<br>
<br>
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part<br>
of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or<br>
package vendor."<br>
<br>
"Python 2.6.5 Installer ended prematurely ..."<br>
<br>
The md5sum of the Windows x86 installer matched the published value. I did not<br>
try not using the advanced option. I reinstalled python 2.6.4 on both of the<br>
PCs without any problems and used the advanced compile option.<br>
<br>
Is anyone else having trouble with the 2.6.5 Windows x86 installer?<br>
<br>
