Trying to install various packages on a Windows 7 64 bit and learned that ActivePython helps (as it includes easy_install among others).
It surely seems pretty robust. However I’m trying to easy_install a few packages and its failing.
The problem is that the easy_install.exe actually launches in a new terminal and closes on its own, even when there is a problem, how do I avoid that ?
Anyone faced this issue ?
Perhaps
easy_installis trying to relaunch itself as Administrator in a different window which quits immediately after easy_install exits. Try running easy_install from an Administrator prompt.As a recommendation for ActivePython users, easy_install should only be used a last resort; you should first try installing packages using PyPM (included in ActivePython).
