Typically you run them from the OS command interpreter. If the installer is a .py file and the associations are correct, the Python interpreter will be started to process the installer script. If the associations aren't set, you may have to enter python installer.py at the system prompt instead of installer.py > Tried to run the Python installer script from the DOS command line but that > resulted in an error. > Okay -- so what was the error? -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
