Summary: V2.1 installer not working on NT4 SP5

Initial Comment:
Hello.

I have a windows NT server (Nec PowerMate VT, 128Mo 
RAM) with quite a lot of products installed. During 
the installation, I always get a "corrupt installation 
detected" pop-up, whereas the files can correctly be 
extracted from the archive by winzip 8 or winrar 
2.80b2.

The products installed are
- Business Bridge V2.3.16 & V3.0.6 servers (SYSTAR)
- MySQL 3.23.32 server (+ODBC driver)
- Naviscope
- I.I.S. 4.0
- Winzip 8 french
- WinRAR 2.80b2
- Cygwin 1.1
- MS SQL/Server 6.5 client (+ODBC driver)
- MouseWare 9.00.99
- Office 97
- Oracle 7.3.4 & 8i clients (+ODBC drivers)
- UltraEdit 8
- TNG Remote Control Option

I'd like to know if there are any incompatibilities 
between the installer and any of these products, and 
I'd like to be given a manual procedure that would 
allow me to install python on my workstation.

Moreover, seeing that:
- I am not the only one having installation problems 
on windows
- I have had problems every time I have tried to 
install Python 2.1 on windows (both NT and 2000)
- The Python windows installer is a 16 bit technology 
that is not supported anymore if I can believe what 
tim_one told me (see request ID 416824)
My conclusion is that we all should consider using 
another windows installer.

Regards,
  Xavier
