Installing 2.5a1 on Windows XP Pro SP2. I changed the
install directory to D:\Apps\Python25, and selected
"compile all modules" from the advanced options screen.
Everything else is as standard.

The install stopped with a message "There is a problem
with ths Windows Installer package. A program run as
part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact
your support personnel or package vendor." This was
right after the compile of all modules.

There's plenty of free disk space on the machine.

Rerunning without the "compile all modules" selection
worked fine.

Another data point - the pywin32 binary installer for 2.5
also fails, with an error saying that the preinstall script
couldn't run. In both cases, it's an installer trying to run
a Python script.

I did a *very* quick test, and running scripts from the
command line does work OK...

Thanks for the report. This is fixed in r43719.
