Umm...

Well, what was happening was that when I clicked Next, 
nothing would happen, after that warning. I created the 
Python24 directory manually, trying to get it working.

I now believe that it was some issue with that boot of my 
system. It worked no problem.

Can you please elaborate what "does not work at all" means?
Could you not move the mouse over the next button? Not press
the left mouse button?

Also, according to the log, a dialog was displayed
"C:\Python24\ exists. Are you sure you want to overwrite
existing files?" Did you see this dialog? Did it go away
when you pressed Ok? Did you then select Next again?

Here we go...

I cancelled setup after a few minutes of waiting. So, that 
should show in the log somewhere.

There's an in-flight version of the log, in there, as well. It's what 
I saw every time I checked the log while it was sitting doing 
nothing after I had clicked next.

Can you please generate a log file through

msiexec /i python-2.4.1.msi /l*v python.log

and attach a compressed version of the log file to this report?
