Operating System:
OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Version:                5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600

Using the latest Python 2.5.1.msi from:
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1.msi

Perform the following steps:
- launch python-2.5.1.msi
- select next
- select next
- select Advanced
- select cancel
- select yes

Issue:
I think the issue may reside around line 698/699 in these lines of msi.py

c = advanced.cancel("Cancel", "CompilePyc")
c.event("SpawnDialog", "CancelDlg")

I have vs2005, so I can not really test/utilize msi.py that easily.


Note: If anyone can build an msi with vs2005 please give me the details
on how you did so.  My initial hackery went along the lines of:
 - built solution in release
 - modded msi.py for pcbuild8
 - modded msisupport.mak to include libpath for msi.lib
 - ran python msi.py
 - ...told to run icons.mak in pc dir
 - ran icons.mak
 - reran python msi.py
 - built w9xpopen from PC/VC6/pcbuild solution
... realized I had to change msi.py for VisualStudio8.0 registry keys
and quit here ...

I was advised on #python that the Orcas Beta is where it's at, so I am
downloading now.

Joseph: can you reproduce this with the 2.6 installers?
