Summary: Windows 2.4c1 installer default location issues

Initial Comment:
On win2k sp4, python-2.4c1.msi defaults to installing
in c:\Python24\, rather than the more usual c:\Program
Files\Python24\ like 2.3.3 did.

When I pointed it to c:\Program Files\Python24\, it
installed there, but I couldn't get IDLE to run; silent
failure. Not sure if there were other similar issues.
Uninstalled, and reinstalled to the default location,
all is (apparently, so far) well.

Not sure what the bug is that you are reporting here. It is
intentional that Python installs into c:\python24, not into
Program Files.

The IDLE problem indicates a bug, of course.
