Alternative Ways to install Python 2.4?

[Michael Goettsche]

Hello guys,

I convinced my CS teacher to use Python in school. We currently have 2.2 
installed on a Windows 2000 Terminal server. I asked the system administrator 
to upgrade to Python 2.4, but he didn't succeed in doing it. He used the 
microsoft installer package, which according to him crashed when starting. 
So my question is if there's an alternative way to install it(must be easy). 
Would it be an option to remove 2.2 first and then try to install 2.4 again?

Sorry for asking, but he doesn't have so much time and I've to install it 
tomorrow.

Thanks in advance
Michael
