I'm using the pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.6.msi installer with a fresh install of
Python2.6. Pygame is not installed correctly, and creates C:\Lib and
C:\Include directories. I can manually move these into my Python26 folder to
fix this. I don't have an APPDATA environment variable set, perhaps this is
being assumed to exist and as it is not set it is being installed in C:\?

hi,

which version of windows are you using?

Also, which user did you install it under?


cheers,
I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3. I tried to install it both under 'All Users' and 'Just for me', neither worked. The user account I was using was not an administrator account on the system.

It also turns out the APPDATA environment variable is set, I just can't see it in the Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables list, but it is in the os.environ dictionary in python.
