[issue2256] Install failure of 2.6a1 on Windows XP without VS8 installed

[Michael Urman]

Michael Urman added the comment:

The failure is signaled by the return code from the call to compileall.py:
MSI (s) (FC:D0) [16:38:27:394]: Note: 1: 1722 2: CompilePyc 3:
C:\Python26\python.exe 4: -Wi "C:\Python26\Lib\compileall.py" -f -x
bad_coding|badsyntax|site-packages "C:\Python26\Lib" 

The install succeeds anyway because this is after InstallFinalize. That
makes this a wart that will likely fail similarly on Vista under UAC (if
not already handled by being conditioned out). This should probably be a
scheduled between InstallFiles and InstallFinalize with
inscript+noimpersonate.
