<DIV>Hi, I just installed twisted python on my Windows XP laptop which has
Python 2.3.2.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I went to install it on Windows 2000 Professional version 5.00.2195 Service
Pack 4 running Python 2.3 and got the following dialog box diagnostic: "Setup:
CreateFile failed; code 5. Access is denied." I've been able to install piles of
stuff on this system before, so I figure I have the required administrative
privileges. I logon to a Windows domain, and my ID is in the Administrators
group of the domain. There is a separate Administrator logon local to the
machine which I haven't used, and probably can't get the password for, since
this is a managed PC within the domain.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here are my questions:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) What does the "code 5" failure mean?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) What am I doing wrong?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3) Can I just move the twisted site-package folders over from my XP system
Python 2.3 folder to the corresponding Windows 2000 Pro folder? I'm mostly
interested in just importing the twisted modules and prototyping; I can do
without the icons and start menu entries.</DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
