[issue20592] test_frozen fails on 3.4.0rc1, windows

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Since the installation created a new directory, it had to be empty at the moment of creation. However, this was both after the failed installation of 64-bit .0c1 on top of existing 64 bit .0b3 (in the Python34 directory originally used for 3.4.0a1) and before a subsequent retry and re-failure and re-rollback of the 64-bit version. On the hypothesis that msi got confused in all of this and somehow copied the file from one directory to another (or a cosmis ray hit ;-), I uninstalled both bit versions and deleted both directories and started fresh as far as 3.4 and my C: drive are concerned. After installing in this condition, neither test_frozen nor test_importhooks are present.

Sorry for the noise. Next time someone reports inexplicable installation problems on python-list, perhaps I will remember to ask if they started completely fresh, as I just did.
