I'd be delighted to run them. Bring 'em on! 

If this is useful information: the opening screen of the installer 
correctly shows D:\Python24\ as my Python directory, and correctly 
shows (on my computer): 
D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\ as the Installation Directory. The 
file names as it installs are of the form 
"Python24\Lib\site-packages\...", which to me hints that it takes 
that generated name and appends it to the Python directory to 
produce the actual file path it then uses.
