* When enumerating the Python versions found, also remember the HKEY
they were found under.
* When installing, if Python was installed under HKCU, we will too.
If Python was installed under HKLM, we check the permissions of
the current user, and install where we can.
* The "root" key we use is a global variable - all registry setting and
delete functions use this global rather than a hardcoded HKLM.
* A new entry is written to the install log, indicating the key we used.
Uninstallation is based on this key.
* 'tempnam()' is used rather than 'tmpnam()' - 'tmpnam' creates a temp
file on the root of the current drive, and if this is readonly would
explain the 'freopen' errors occasionally reported. 'tempnam'
creates the temp file in the %TEMP% directory.
it from the install directory (as reported by the registry) in case it
is not found on the default Loadlibrary search path.
Fixes SF 935091: bdist_winist post-install script fails on non-admin Python
Already backported.
by bdist_wininst *must* use the same runtime libary as the Python
version.
Actually this means the Python version where the installer is run, not
the one which is used to build it. Must think about that - for now I
assume MSVC6 is used up to Python 2.3, and MSVC7.1 is used starting at
Python 2.4.
So the filename for wininst.exe is now wininst-6.exe for the Release
version and wininst-6_d.exe for the Debug version, when built with
MSVC6.
install.c: support for a 'pre-install-script', run before anything has
been installed. Provides a 'message_box' module function for use by
either the pre-install or post-install scripts.
bdist_wininst.py: support for pre-install script. Typo (build->built),
fixes so that --target-version can still work, even when the
distribution has extension modules - in this case, we insist on
--skip-build, as we still can't actually build other versions.
again. Removed the following subprojects and folded them into pythoncore,
to match what's being done under VC7. We *can* build the core DLL
under VC6 again after this:
datetime.dsp
winreg.dsp
parser.dsp
_sre.dsp
_csv.dsp
mmap.dsp
_symtable.dsp
