Summary: does not install on Windows XP

Initial Comment:
When executing the BeOpen-Python-2.0.exe installation 
file, I get the following error from the installer:

Error: Could not write file, your disk may be full.

The drive I executed the file on has 143GB free.

Were you logged in to an Administrator account?  If not, 
try that.

If so, this may be hopeless:  the 2.0 installer was built 
with a very old version of Wise, written before even Win98 
existed, and is a 16-bit program that started having 
problems on Win2000 already.  Ditto the 2.1 installer.  The 
2.2 installer is built with a recent version of Wise, and 
is a 32-bit program.  We don't have XP, though, so can't 
say for sure.

You may also have better luck using ActiveState's 
distribution (which uses different installation technology).
