When I install Python on WinXP it always goes go C:\ 
even though I select C:\Python .  This happens when 
Python is installed for just me or for all users on a 
system.

The system is running WinXP SP 2 and the account 
installing has enough rights to install 
applications.  An install log has been attached.

I am unable to attach a file.  Every time a file is 
attached I receive a 'page cannot be found' error message.

Since I cannot attach a file to a bug report I have placed 
the python.log file at
