I downloaded and installed 2.2c1 and built the Numeric installers. However, when I run them they all fail when the installation begins (after one clicks the final click to install) with an access violation. I removed any previous Numeric and it still happened.
Building and installing with setup.py install works ok.
I don't know anything about your installers, but could it be that you were trying to install without Administrator permissions? That used to crash the previous Python installer too.
