Has anyone else had problems running the msi for Python 2.6.6 on<br>
Windows 7 Professional?<br>

displayed<br>

"There is a problem with the windows installer package. A program run<br>
as part of setup did not complete as expected"<br>
<br>
1. I have GB of disk space available.<br>
2. I have admin privileges<br>
3. The MD5 checksum of the downloaded installer matches the MD5<br>
checksum on <a href="http://python.org" target="_blank">python.org</a><br>
4. Run As Adminsitrator is not available when I Shift-Right Click<br>

I'd have to dig through the tracker to find the issue numbers, but I reported this issue for a 3.1.x installer and tested out a fix which appeared to work.
