Never do something like that. The Python installer will setup registry keys, PATH information and anyything else to point to the installation directory. Changing it would be the same as renaming the WINDOWS folder (well, not exectly, but you get the message, I think ;-). > So... Am I doing something wrong?

There were some minor fixes to the build system a few minutes ago, so you might want to try it again (rev. 2141). Additionally, did you follow the instructions of the doc/BuildVC.txt or doc/BuildMinGW.txt guides? Can you add the output of the setup on trying to install anything? > And while we're on the topic: Marcus, a few weeks ago you said that > you were working on an alpha release of pgreloaded.

I'm in the last testing phase for some rwops changes so any file-like object is correctly supported (Rene, Lenard: that's useful for Pygame 1.9, too, but will require a lot of changes and testing there). If anything goes fine, a release will be made available within the next week, and I can add some installer for Win32 platforms. Regards Marcus
