[Twisted-Python] problem installing twisted on Windows 2000 Professional
I'm running Python 2.3 on Windows 2000 version 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4 and having trouble running the Twisted-1.1.0.win32-py2.3.exe installation. I downloaded the .exe to a local folder, got to the Install button, clicked on it and while the "Saving uninstall information" message was displayed but before the progress bar showed any progress, I got a Setup message box saying "CreateFile failed; code 5. Access is denied" Can anyone tell me what code 5 means? I've got 112 MB left on the C: drive, I hope that's not the problem.

I don't have a Windows installation to play with anymore, so this is just a guess... Mysterious installation errors are often due to installing Twisted and/or Python as a non-Adminstrator. Perhaps that's the problem here? -Andrew.
