>Summary: Binary plugin fails on Win9x: encoding exception

Initial Comment:
Running pure Windows (98SE) and Outlook 2000.
No Python installed.
I can't get the plugin to initialize.
I go to Tools/options/other/advanced 
options/Com Addins
and check the SpamBayes plug-in box, but it won't 
stayed checked,
and I've uninstalled/reinstalled Outlook and the 
plugin but no go.
I've got this working great, really great, on Winnt 
4.0 and Xp.
Logfile being attached for upload...

Dan

Installation fails on Windows 2000. I have:
*
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/downloads/SpamBayes-Outlook-Setup-002.exe
(2968028 bytes)
* ActivePython-2.2.2-224-win32-ix86.msi

The log file talks about files on E:\, which isn't mounted. 
An earlier log file (which seems to be overwritten, I can't
find it) claimed to have written stuff to c:/Documents and
Settings/erahege/Application Data/SpamBayes/<omething>.pck,
but that file is nonexistent.

I have NOT installed
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/downloads/win32all-152.exe,
beacuse the instructions on
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/spambayes/ doesn't
say so.

My log file is very similar to the one already uploaded. I
will upload my log file if I find out how to do it.

ok, since i liked it so much on win2000 i did the python 
install & manual install of the spambayes outlook addin & 
its working good now, so i guess it was the installer.
thanks

I also get the same errors as in the logfile on a Win98SE 
installation w/Outlook 2000 SP1, but it works on Win2000 
w/same Outlook.  If you have any workarounds (w/regedit?) 
please let us know...

Ok Mark...
Anyway to bypass the installer issue and get it working 
by manual means?

This is an issue with the "Installer" tool I use.  I will
try and sus it out before the next binary release.
