I just downloaded and installed the latest ActiveState build of Python
2.2.1 off their site and could not get it to install on my win98SE box
even though I had previously run the windows installer.  The problem
turns on to be that the name of the file you download is
ActivePython-2.2.1-222.msi.exe
Simply remove the '.exe' extension so the name is:
ActivePython-2.2.1-222.msi and the installation goes just fine.
