Summary: Windows installer halts
Initial Comment:
The Windows installer halts when starting to install files,
more exactly when installing the file "UNWISE.EXE" and
the progress bar reads "1%".
Python versions tested:
2.2.3
2.3.1
2.3.2
2.3.2-1
All tested versions behave the same. Since I don't believe
it's a common bug I attach selected computer specs for
the system in question. I find it hard to believe it is the
python windows installer by itself that contains the bug
but since I haven't experienced this with any other
installer I submit the bug anyway. It can't be my system
by itself either.
- Varying the installation options does not seem to help
(non exhaustive testing done).
- Running install on on specific processor (Hyper
Threading is enabled) does not change things
Test system summary (see attachment for full specs):
Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard, intel Northwood 3.0GHz HT,
2x512MB Corsair 3500, Radeon 9700 AIW, Seagate
Barracuda 160GB, Windows XP Pro SP1a.
Reproduction steps:
1. Launch installer
2. Click 'next' when asked for directory
3. Click 'next' when asked about backups
4. Click 'next' when asked for component selection
5. Click 'next' when asked for start menu group selection
6. Click 'next' when prompted with the "ready to install"
screen
7. Observere bug

Here is advice I got from a Wise rep:
"""
This sounds like it is hanging at the point that the install
is trying to self register files. You can test this by
running the setup.exe with a /m1. This will run the install
in manual mode, and prompt when each file is trying to self
register. This will indicate which file it is trying to
self register, and then the error message.
"""
Can you try this, please, and report the result?

I've asked in the WISE support news group for help, I've
also seen similar behaviour in other software built with WISE.
