python-2.4.msi installation issue

[mirandacascade at yahoo.com]

O/S: Windows XP Home (with Service Pack 2)
Downloaded python-2.4.msi from python.org (10,632KB).  When I double
click on the file from Windows Explorer, the installation process
presents the window in which I am prompted to either install for all
users (the default) or install for just me.  I selected the defaulted
value.  Installation process presents a window in which the user may
select the directory for python 2.4 files.  I selected the default
value of the Python24 folder.  After clicking Next, the process
presents a window with the message, "Python 2.4 installer ended
prematurely.  Python 2.4 ended prematurely because of an error.  Your
system has not been modified.  To install this program at a later time,
please run the installation again."

My question is this: how do I determine what the error was that caused
the installation process to end prematurely?
