If I tick the "compile modules" box in the advanced
options of the 2.4b1 msi installer, it dies part way
through this (it scrolls too fast for me to see exactly
where, though).

The installer then gives a dialog with:

"""
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.
 A program run as part of the setup did not finish as
expected.  Contact your support personnel or package
vendor.
"""

And goes to a "install did not work" final box, rather
than the regular 'all good' one.

This happens with Win2K Pro and WinXP Pro SP1.

Thanks for the report. Fixed in msi.py 1.13.
