that's often it, yes - you keep getting the installer when you think you 
should get a snazzy Python window. Of course, you don't - Python is a 
command-line/terminal program, not a windows app.  Now if you tried to 
launch IDLE instead, you'd get at least a window.

But we're just guessing here. Perhaps Chano will come back with an 
updated question with some details.
