Cannot run Python 3.0a5 )-:

[Sven Siegmund]

Hi, I just tried to install Python 3.0a5 an another Windows PC. I did
what I have done yesterday at home:

1. Downloaded the daily snapshot http://svn.python.org/snapshots/msi/python-3.0.14011.msi
2. Installed to C:\Python30
3. Added C:\Python30 to the Path environment for all users.

when I run python from the command line, it says: The system cannot
execute the specified program.

I don't understand this.

What happens if you invoke the full command line path?
Can you check the event log for messages?
What operating system are you using?

Ah, I solved it. I was wrong. I did not do the same as yesterday.
Yesterday I downloaded Python 3.0a5 from http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.0/python-3.0a5.msi
and not the daily build.

I can python again now (-:
