python dll no longer in system directory?

Is it intended that python30.dll and python26.dll are not longer
installed in the \windows\system32 directory?

This (pythonxy.dll not on $PATH) causes problems for COM objects
implemented in Python.

Thanks,
Thomas

How did you install Python 2.6? Did you install it only for yourself or 
for all users?

For all users.  I only deselected the 'register file extensions' option.
This is on XP SP3, with admin rights.

No, it's not. Please create a bug report (or, better, study the
msiexec logs, and msi.py, to find out why this happens).

I might not have time to look into this before the next release
candidate.

Regards,
Martin

I confirm this. The following lines in msi.py seem to be the cause of
the change:

    #dlldir = PyDirectory(db, cab, root, srcdir, "DLLDIR", ".")
    #install python30.dll into root dir for now
    dlldir = root

They were added by r61109: " Bundle msvcr90.dll as a "private assembly". "
but I don't know if simply restoring the previous value will work in every case:
If the C Run-Time is installed "privately", then python26.dll must
stay in c:\python26.

Amaury, can you add your analysis to the tracker, please?

Ah, ok. Maybe I can find some time next week to look into this, but I
wouldn't mind if anybody else did.

In any case, thanks for this research so far (and too bad that nobody
noticed throughout all the beta releases).

Regards,
Martin
