[New-bugs-announce] [issue8075] Windows (Vista/7) install error when choosing to compile .py files

[Eugene Baranov]

New submission from Eugene Baranov <eug.baranov at gmail.com>:

I tried installing Python 2.6.4 into Program Files in Windows 7 and choose to compile .py files after install.

Installer correctly asks for a elevation and copies all fixes but it looks like compile batch are being started from initial, unelevated context. (It displays access denied messages)

The issues does not appear when starting installer from already elevated command prompt.
