I tried to install the 32 Bit Python 2.7 Version (32 Bit version because of some 32 bit plugins) on a Windows Server 2008 DataCenter R2 and short at the end it throws the attached error message.

Have you tried your Python 2.7 on a Windows Server 2008 R2?

Please run "msiexec /i python-2.7.msi /l*v python.log", and compress and attach the resulting log file.

In this specific run, the critical error was this:

MSI (s) (38:74) [00:36:38:068]: Assembly Error:Der angeforderte Vorgang war nicht erfolgreich. Es ist ein Systemneustart erforderlich, um die durchgeführten Änderungen rückgängig zu machen.

So please do reboot the system, and try again (generating a new log file). It also says

 Assembly Error (sxs): Please look into Component Based Servicing Log located at -89201544ndir\logs\cbs\cbs.log to get more diagnostic information.

So on the chance that this contains additional information, please also put this log file into the next zip file (you might want to screen it for any security-relevant information that you don't want to release).

Please don't change the subject, it changes the bug title, which makes the bug report less useful :)

It works on my 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.

joblack - are you still seeing issues with this?
msg121605 - (view) Author: (joblack) Date: 2010-11-20 10:47
No it seems a problem of the installation routine. If you have 
installed a program before Python it sometimes doesn't work.

msg121605 says the OP isn't seeing issues with this so I'd guess this can be closed?

It seems that the system wasn't rebooted after a previous installation that required a reboot. The specific component that caused the failure is the Microsoft CRT, so there is nothing we can do about this.
