...So for getting the name of the installer that's created when building an msi installer - the "bdist_msi" class that does the msi work and is derived from a "distutils.core.Command" class has a "get_installer_filename" function - so if I could somehow get at the instance of that class that was used to make the msi, I could get the filename and write a patch to change the REINSTALLMODE of the built msi and and fix the installer problem in this thread...

So anybody know how to get at that thing? (or otherwise find the name of the built installer) from setup.py? (I'd appreciate help, cause looking at distutils makes my head hurt, and I'm lazy)
