Version 2.5.1.
I'm trying to install Python on 32bit Vista Business. When I run the
MSI file it proceeds smoothly (well, apart from offering to install
to "c:\python..." instead of "c:\program files\python..."), and then
starts the install. It then tells me that I have to close down Explorer
(i.e. the shell!), and Nokia PC Suite 6.84.10.3. I could cope with the
latter, but I'm definitely not prepared to exit explorer. This seems a
bug/oversight in the installer. Is there any wat round it?

This error message is not produced by the Python MSI file, but by
Windows installer itself. It computes the set of files that we are about
to install, which includes the Microsoft C Runtime DLL. I guess that
this file is also in use by Explorer.

It is safe to ignore this warning, and proceed with the installation.

Closing this as a third-party problem.
