It seems weird that it wouldn&#39;t work, as this is a pretty standard setup. Here&#39;s a few ideas of things to check:<br>- Double-check it&#39;s really 32 bit Python (checking sys.maxint)<br>- Is there another Python installation that may cause some conflicts?<br>
- Did you download the numpy superpack from the official website?<br>- Reboot<br><br>Unlikely to be helpful, but I can&#39;t think of something else right now :/<br><br>-=- Olivier<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/1/27 William McLendon <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:wcmclen@gmail.com" target="_blank">wcmclen@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><br>

<font face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Hi,<br><br>I am trying to install NumPy (using  numpy-1.6.1-win32-superpack-python2.7) on a Windows 7 machine that has 32-bit Python 2.7 installed on it using the latest installer (python-2.7.2.msi).  Python is installed into the default location, C:\Python27, and as far as I can tell the registry knows about it -- or at least the windows uninstaller in the control panel does...<br>



<br>The installation fails because the NumPy installer cannot find the 
Python installation.  I am then prompted with a screen that 
should allow me to type in the location of my python installation, but the text-boxes where I should type this do not allow input so I&#39;m kind of stuck.<br><br>I did look into trying to build from source, but I don&#39;t have a C compiler on this system so setup.py died a horrible death.  I&#39;d prefer to avoid having to install Visual C++ Express on this system.<br>


<br>Does anyone have any suggestions that might be helpful?<br>
<br>Thanks!<span><font color="#888888"><br>  -William<br><span></span></font></span></font>
