The file info is seems correct but I just checked the MSI and it's
reporting that it's 2.7.2. How exactly are you running python.exe and
IDLE- are you calling the full path, just calling "python" and using
whichever python version is first on your path, or are you using an
entry in the start menu? The only thing I can think of is that your
2.7.0 install is in a different location than your 2.7.2 install. So
2.7.2 installed correctly but you're still running the old one.
