[Distutils] Installing to c:\Program Files\

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Hi!

Is the distutils system suited for installation of a python program to a 
subfolder of c:\Program Files\ ?

I can generate an msi file using the bdist_msi method, but the resulting msi 
installer puts the files in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (or something like that).

My python program basically consists of a python script, two python modules and 
some text files. None of this should be available to other python programs, so I 
want it all to be installed in a subdirectory of Program Files. This makes 
sense, right?

The program itself is already capable to be launched from any folder.

Can distutils create an msi file for my python program that does what I want? Or 
should I use some other tool? I want to create an installer that uses the 
Windows "Add/Remove programs" system, and hopefully allows upgrading to newer 
program versions without leaving multiple versions installed.

Thanks,
