[New-bugs-announce] [issue7440] distutils shows incorrect Python version in MSI installers

[Mario Vilas]

New submission from Mario Vilas <mvilas at gmail.com>:

I just hit this silly bug in distutils, should be quite easy to fix.
When building MSI installers for a target_version other than the current
Python version, the target directory selection dialog shows a wrong message.

For example, here is a screen capture of an installer built using Python
2.6, but setting the target as Python 2.5. The message says:

    "The destination directory should contain a Python 2.6 installation"

when it should be:

    "The destination directory should contain a Python 2.5 installation".
