[wxPython] installation can't find Python

Hi,

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?

Thanks.

Mike

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
