Summary: non-admin install may fail (win xp pro)

Initial Comment:
concerns: python 2.4.1 msi

When trying to do a non-admin install on Windows XP 
Pro, the installer probably tries to make shortcuts in a 
non-accessible directory.

The status-window is displaying: creating shortcuts

A messagebox appears and says the installer lacks 
priveliges on a certain directory: please try again as an 
administrator, (which i am obviously not).

The cancel-option now leads to a rollback of the 
installation.

According to the log file, there was an error accessing

\bw2\snelkop\2003\info\programma's\Python 2.4

How come your Menu folder is on a network drive? What is the
ACL on that folder?

It works fine for me...

Can you please install with

msiexec /i python-2.4.1.msi /l*v python.log

and attach a zipped version of python.log?
