That really ought to work.  What doesn't work is trying to install while
logged in to a Restricted account (a bogus "Corrupt Installation" msg is the
usual result then).

The 2nd-most frequent cause (it's been reported twice <wink>), and assuming
Greg was using the PythonLabs installer, is trying to install over a network
instead of from a local drive.
