Python 2.4.2 to 2.4.3 transition issue

[Panos Laganakos]

OS: Windows XP + SP1

On this particular box, I hadn't moved to 2.4.3 yet.
So, earlier today, I uninstalled Python2.4.2 and installed 2.4.3 using
the .msi installer.

It seems though everything looked great, that when I invoke 'python'
from the command line, I get Python2.4.2 (as the header states),
instead of 2.4.3.

I looked at the registry and at the PATH variables of both system and
current user, but they are just stating 'C:\Python24\'.

When I explicitly call C:\Python24\python.exe though, 2.4.3 comes up.

Any ideas what seems to be the problem here?
