Windows Installer (box)
The windows Installer Service could not be accessed. this can occur.... in safe mode, or 
if Installer is not correctly installed. Contact.... for assistance.

So I guess no way to retrieve the contents/instructions of python.msi SCRYPT to find out 
what should go where?


Cheers.
