This has to be pretty basic, but I have just downloaded xzPython-2.3.1-Py21.exe and it complains that I don't have Python 2.1 installed. I do too. I have 'Program Files\python21' which is just how the python installation did it. I also have python 1.5.
Can anyone tell me what the installation program is looking for?

It's looking in the registry for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.1\InstallPath. The next
version will be better.
Thanks. Just about as I received this I noticed a similar posting last month. I must have searched for the wrong stuff. Sorry.
What I actually had was : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.1a1\InstallPath
I have yet to find out what the difference is, but I have renamed my registry entry in the hopes that I don't mess anything else up:/
Thanks
