Re: Installing Django

Hi,

First you seem to be installing Django to Windows, it adds certain complexity all together, it's not impossible though.

By given paths for some strange reason easy_install seems to thing that you have installed your Python to "C:\program files (x86)\" directory (not subdirectory there or anything, to root of that folder), that is quite wrong, first it requires allways adminstrative access to install anything there, and second it's not standard place, which would be something like C:\PythonXX\ (to avoid permission problems).

First thing to you is now to figure out did you managed to mess up Python installation by putting it to incorrect path and fix by removing all components and then installing it to more proper location.

Depending on Python modules you want to use some may require compiling which is not simple under Windows, so if you can use some Linux (or some other unix variant) box or something like virtual machine setting up environment is much easier.
