Normally you should get a screen that shows "Python (2.1) c:\python2.1 -
Found in registry." or similar.

If the installer cannot find the Python directory, this can have several
reasons:

- did you download the correct version (there are downloads for Python
  1.5/2.0/2.1 - you need the right one)?

- have you *installed* either the Python from www.python.org or the
  ActiveState one? you need to install it in order to set the registry
  key the PyXML installer depends on -- if you simply copy the Python
  directory from somewhere else and have python21.dll in your path,
  Python itself will work, but not the installers; the same effect
  occurs if you happen to use the Python from www.pythonware.com
