I'm trying to do a non-admin install of python 2.4.1 using 
the msi on win xp pro.

Our environment is pretty customized; in an ordinary 
explorer window I see drives I, J but no C. "My 
Documents" refers to i:\<username> which is an alias 
for \\<server>\<group>\username. I'm installing to 
i:\<username>\python241 for my user only. The server 
has enough diskspace and my diskspace is not limited.

When I try to install, bug #1232947 occurs; but when I 
try to do the same install with a usb-stick attached 
(which appears as volume "e:"), the installer complains 
that E has insufficient disk space. In fact, this was true: 
but I was not installing on E but on I.

The disk usage button by the way shows enough 
diskspace on I: and does not list E:

Can you please create a log file of the installation, through

msiexec /i python-2.4.x.msi /l*v python.log

Please then zip the log file, and attach it to this report.

Will close as won't fix/lack of response unless someone wants this open.

Closing on lack of response, uncommon use case.
